The new promise of Spanish tennis, Kaitlin Quevedo, whose father is from Gran Canaria, has reached her first Grand Slam main draw at Roland Garros. The young player overcame the final qualifying match this Friday, coming from behind against fellow Spaniard Guiomar Maristany with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

After winning all three qualifying matches in France, Quevedo is now set to make her debut in the main phase of the prestigious tournament. This achievement follows a career highlight just a month ago at the Mutua Madrid Open, where she defeated American Venus Williams, the world number 1 in 2002.

Earlier in April, Kaitlin was selected for the first time by Carla Suárez to represent Spain in the Billie Jean King Cup, the premier international team competition in women's tennis. There, the young athlete won both of her matches, helping the Spanish team advance to the finals in China.

Born in the United States on February 13, 2006, Quevedo resided there until she was 17. She then decided to move to Barcelona and began competing in international tournaments under the Spanish flag, securing 10 ITF titles to date.

Kaitlin has shown significant progression in recent months, establishing herself as one of the most promising young figures in Spanish tennis. In July 2025, she won the ITF W100 in Maspalomas, the most important title of her career so far. At 20 years old, she is currently ranked 127th in the WTA rankings, and her participation in Roland Garros is expected to further boost her career.
