Maya Joint

Maya Joint is an Australian professional tennis player and one of the brightest young talents in world tennis, competing on the WTA Tour.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in the United States before relocating to Australia, Maya has rapidly emerged as one of the country’s leading female players. Known for her powerful baseline game, she has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the professional ranks.

Maya developed her game through Tennis Australia’s National Tennis Academy in Brisbane and quickly established herself as one of Australia’s most promising juniors. In 2024, she was named Female Junior Athlete of the Year at the Australian Tennis Awards.

After beginning the 2024 season ranked outside the world’s Top 600, Maya produced one of the most remarkable rises in Australian tennis, breaking into the Top 200 within months and qualifying for her first Grand Slam main draw at the US Open, where she recorded her maiden Grand Slam main draw victory.

Since transitioning to the WTA Tour, Maya has continued her rapid ascent. She reached her first WTA semifinal in Hobart in January, 2025 before claiming her maiden WTA singles title in Rabat. Just weeks later, she captured a second WTA title at Eastbourne, becoming one of the youngest Australians to win multiple WTA titles in a single season. Her breakthrough year saw her rise to World No. 32 and become Australia’s highest-ranked female player at just 19-years-old.

Maya has represented Australia at the Billie Jean King Cup and United Cup and continues to establish herself as one of the leading young players on the global stage.

Away from tennis, Maya enjoys reading, drawing and watching television, and cites Roger Federer and Ash Barty among her sporting inspirations.
