Coming into the 2026 French Open, 24 year old Maja Chwalinska was ranked #114 in the world.

She was never a tennis prodigy.

She was on the verge of quitting.
In 2021, she actually stepped away from Tennis as she suffered from severe depression.
She fought back.

She recently talked about her inability to pay her hotel bill on tour.

In order to qualify for the French Open she needed to win three qualifying matches.

Which she did.

Then she won 6 more matches in the main draw to make it to the 2026 French Open Finals.

Where she is guaranteed at least a $1,600,000 paycheck.

You got to love sports.
