Maja Chwalińska achieved what she had not achieved before in Paris. The Pole advanced to the main draw of Roland Garros, winning three qualifying matches and not giving up a single set to her rivals. Now she will make her debut in the main tournament at the Paris clay.
Maja Chwalińska with a historic promotion
Before the start of the main tournament, three Polish representatives had a certain place in the singles ladder: Iga Świątek, Magdalena Fręch and Magda Linette. Chwalińska joined this group and had to go through qualifications.
The Pole was seeded number eight in the qualifying round and this time she took full advantage of her opportunity. She has tried to get into the main stage at Roland Garros in the past, but without success. Now she has broken this barrier and will play in the Paris Grand Slam tournament for the first time.
Eliminations without losing a set
Chwalińska started the qualifications very confidently. In the first match she defeated Alice Rame 6-0, 6-3, and then defeated Carole Monnet even more clearly 6-0, 6-1. These results showed that the Pole feels good on clay courts and has been in good shape since the beginning of the tournament.
The most difficult was the elimination final against Suzan Lamens. The first set was decided only in a tie-break, in which Chwalińska kept more calm and won 7-4. In the second game, she found herself in a difficult position because she was losing 3:5, but then she won the next four games and closed the match.
Polish women in the main bracket of Roland Garros
Chwalińska’s promotion means that we will see four Poles in the women’s singles. Świątek, Fręch and Linette got into the tournament thanks to their ranking positions, and Chwalińska won a place on the court.
For the 23-year-old, this is another important step in her career. Previously, she was able to break into the main draws of Wimbledon and the Australian Open. Now Roland Garros will be added to this list, a tournament played on a surface that may suit her playing style.
Chwalińska is waiting for her rival in Paris
The Pole will soon meet her opponent in the first round. The draw is scheduled for Thursday, but the name of the rival may only be known after all qualifying matches are completed.
The most important thing for Chwalińska, however, is that she has already made a big step. She passed the qualifying round in great style, did not lose a set and will enter the main tournament with momentum, which can be of great importance in the Grand Slam.
