Maya Joint cracks top-100
Australia’s Maya Joint has jumped well inside the top-100 in the live rankings, after racing through qualifying and then winning her round one match at the Merida WTA 500 tournament in Mexico.

The US born player has an Australian father and in early 2023 Joint made the decision to represent Australia on the tour.
Joint relocated to Brisbane at that time.
The 18-year-old has been making steady progress towards a top-100 ranking and is now there. Joint’s current live ranking is no. 87.
Her round 2 opponent in Merida is Donna Vekic of Croatia.
On 8 November 2023, Joint committed to the Texas Longhorns tennis team starting from the 2024/25 season. However, on 26 December 2024, Joint announced she would turn professional and forego her college tennis opportunity.
