Maja Chwalińska enters US Open main draw following Roland-Garros success

Maja Chwalińska makes her US Open main draw debut this Monday, facing U.S. player Taylor Townsend. The 24-year-old Polish tennis player enters the final Grand Slam of the year after a significant run to the finals at Roland-Garros this summer. During that tournament, Chwalińska initially struggled to cover extended hotel costs before her deep bracket performance earned $1.64 million in prize money. She has since secured an ambassador deal with nutrition brand Oshee to assist with travel expenses. While Chwalińska has navigated an ankle injury from Wimbledon and recent mixed results in Canada and Cincinnati, she maintains she is physically ready for the upcoming match. The player noted she feels increased expectations following her rise to a world ranking of No. 22 and her growing recognition in Poland.
