Maja Chwalinska did not win Roland Garros, but she won the hearts of everyone over the last 3 weeks.
A journey that started from qualifying.
From world #114 to a new career high ranking of world #21.
The first qualifier in history to reach the Roland Garros final.
To think that in 2021, she stopped playing tennis for months due to a battle with depression and self doubt… Back then, it would’ve been nearly impossible for her to imagine herself in a Grand Slam final.
Her father worked as an electrician in the coal mines and her mother is a receptionist.
They worked tirelessly to support her dreams from the time she was little, and they uplifted her when she had to stop playing tennis to protect her mental health.
Her run in Paris reminded the world that if you work hard at your passion every day, if you have people who love you, and if you never give up on yourself, the ranking next to your name holds no meaning…
You can still make your own fairytale.
Congratulations on everything, Maja. 🥹

Massive round of applause for João Fonseca and everything he achieved at this year’s Roland Garros.
🔹Became the first teenager to ever beat Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam
🔹Became the 2nd player in history to come back from 2 sets to 0 down to beat Novak Djokovic
🔹Became the first Brazilian man to reach a Roland Garros singles quarterfinal since Guga in 2004
🔹Beat 2-time Roland Garros finalist Casper Ruud
🔹Up to No. 25 in the live rankings
Just 19 years old doing truly incredible things.
His dream run ends here, but his dream is more alive than ever.

Novak Djokovic: "I hope Fonseca becomes the next big thing. He has the potential. He's very professional and is pre-conditioned for success. He has amazing talent and firepower and all of Brazil cheering him on. I hope he wins many Grand Slams." 🇷🇸🇧🇷

Amazing tennis by both!
THE MOMENT JOÃO FONSECA BEAT NOVAK DJOKOVIC AT ROLAND GARROS.
The first teenager to ever beat Novak in a Grand Slam.
And he did it on his mom’s birthday.
We just had a front row seat to history.
The superstar has arrived.
