Maja Chwalińska (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmaja xfaˈliɲska, -lij̃ska]; born October 11, 2001) is a Polish tennis player. She won the European 14 and Under girls' doubles title in 2015, and the 16 and Under doubles title in 2016.[1] She was a member of the Polish team which won the Junior Fed Cup title in 2016,[2] and made the final of the 2017 Australian Open junior doubles before completing a trio of European junior titles by winning the 16 and Under singles title six months later.[3]

Her highest junior ranking is 6 in August 2017, having reached number 5 in the under 14 rankings in April 2015.[1] She reached her highest senior singles and doubles rankings on 10 September 2018, after competing in the ITF tournament in Budapest, and improved her singles ranking a few more places the following week.

Tennis career

2018

Chwalińska's profile received a boost in May when she played in the ITF tournament in Trnava, Slovakia. In her final round qualifying match against Irina Falconi she produced an amazing "tweener" shot which clipped the top of the net and dropped into Falconi's side of the court for a winner which became an internet sensation.[4] Chwalińska went on to beat Falconi, and then the pair of them became part of a very unusual club when they met again in the first round proper. Chwalińska was originally drawn to meet Carol Zhao, who withdrew through injury and was replaced by Falconi as a Lucky Loser. In the rematch Chwalińska won again, but was beaten in the second round by Verónica Cepede Royg, a player ranked more than 500 places higher, and who went on to be the tournament runner-up.

A few weeks later she won her second doubles title, in Torun, Poland, alongside Katarzyna Kawa, who had beaten her in a singles quarter-final the day before, and her doubles ranking jumped to a career-high 510. She followed that by finishing runner-up in the singles at the European Junior Championship to Denmark's Clara Tauson, and was a losing semi-finalist in the doubles with Weronika Falkowska. In Warsaw, she reached the semi-finals of the singles, going down in a marathon three hours and 15 minutes three-set match to Victoria Bosio, and won the doubles with Daria Kuczer, racing away to take the match tie-break 10-1 after losing the first set.
