π A Roland Garros finalist feared she wouldnβt be able to afford her hotel
Maja ChwaliΕska arrived in Paris not expecting to make a deep run in the tournament. But as she kept winning, an unexpected problem emerged β she was running out of money to cover her stay.
Prize money at Roland Garros is only paid out after the tournament ends, and the Polish player had little savings left.
Now sheβs in the final and has already earned more than in her entire career combined.
