Maja Chwalińska made her debut in the main category of the Grand Slam tournament. So far, she has never managed to pass the qualifications. In London, the 21-year-old defeated Alyona Bolsova, Alexandra Ignatik, and top-ranked Coco Vandeweghe, respectively.
In the lottery, Chwalińska was ranked 63 in the WTA ranking by Katerina Siniakova and the Czech woman was the absolute favorite in this match according to bookmakers.
Meanwhile, the Polish woman entered this match without any complexes. Already in the second match, she broke her opponent’s pass and was leading 2-0. Siniakova, in turn, made unintended mistakes as a chain. In the entire first group, she scored up to 13 people, while the Polish woman scored only two. This had an effect on the outcome.

The 170th missile in the world did not stop. She finished the first match without losing the match in less than half an hour! In the next group she could continue her streak, but at 40:30 for Poland … it started raining. The court was covered with a tarpaulin and the players returned to the changing room.
The meeting resumed after about two hours of interruption. This clearly affected the Czech player, who was just a hair off break in the fifth inning. However, Chwalińska defended two break points and was ahead 3:2, and quickly 5:3.
At this point, the Polish woman was one step closer to winning. However, at the end of the ninth game, she made a lot of mistakes – at first she made a bad cut, then she made a double serve and for the first time in this match, Sinyakova collapsed.
Sinyakova followed the blow, and after a while a hair prevailed. The Polish woman wasted two match balls, but the third time everything went according to plan. The opponent missed her back. Chwalińska won her first Grand Slam appearance!
In the second round, Maja Chwalińska faces a more difficult task. Her opponent will be 36th seed Alison Riske. She defeated American Jelena N Albon 6:2, 6:4.
