Maja Chwalinska, a 24-year-old Polish tennis player, has made headlines at the French Open by advancing from world No. 114 to No. 21 in the Live Rankings and reaching the final after failing to qualify last year. She will compete against eighth seed Mirra Andreeva in what is described as the biggest match of her career. Chwalinska has embraced a simple routine during the tournament, focusing on her matches while reflecting on her past struggles with depression. The word "free" is etched on her hand, symbolizing her journey. Known for her left-handed playing style that incorporates a variety of angles, she has captivated audiences and opponents alike. Chwalinska's passion for tennis is evident as she studies matches of tennis greats, which she believes enhances her game. Despite financial uncertainties at the start of the tournament, a sponsor has stepped in to support her, and her recent success is likely to attract further sponsorship opportunities regardless of the final outcome.
