Honestly, it’s pretty exciting to see Ethan Quinn making waves at Roland Garros this year. The young American is just 21 but has already caught a lot of attention by pushing through some tough matches. Most recently, he battled it out against Alexander Shevchenko from Kazakhstan in what turned out to be a long, intense five-setter. You could really tell Quinn was giving it his all, hitting an impressive number of winners and showing some serious grit. It’s his first time reaching the third round of a Grand Slam, so this feels like a big step for him — and for fans who’ve been following his rise.
From College Courts to the Pro Tour
If you didn’t know, Ethan’s journey started in college tennis at the University of Georgia. He made a name for himself there by winning the NCAA Singles Championship back in 2023. It’s clear his college days helped shape his game and prepare him for the pro level. Now, with the help of his coaches, Brad Stine and Brian Garber, he’s been working hard to improve every aspect of his play. His style is pretty aggressive, and he’s not shy about going for those big shots. Recently, he’s climbed into the ATP Top 100 rankings, which is no small feat.
Teamwork Behind the Scenes
One interesting thing about Ethan’s progress is the support he’s been getting from Tommy Paul’s coaching crew. Having access to that kind of experience and advice seems to be helping him figure out the mental and strategic parts of the game. It’s kind of cool to see young players helping each other out like that because tennis can get really lonely out there on the court. This backing might just be what pushes Ethan further in big tournaments like this one.

Looking ahead, Ethan is set to face Tallon Griekspoor in the next round at Roland Garros. It’s going to be a tough match, no doubt, but if his recent games show us anything, it’s that he’s not afraid to fight hard and make the most of his chances. Honestly, it feels like we’re just starting to see what he’s capable of, and fans are excited to watch how far he can go.
