Before the French Open, Poland’s Maja Chwalińska had just $864,030 in total career earnings. After making the tournament’s final round, she’s set to earn $1,624,000 worth of prize money in just two weeks.
Chwalińska, who was WTA’s No. 114-ranked player prior to the French Open, defeated No. 25 Diana Shnaider 7–6, 6–4 in the semifinals, advancing all the way from the qualifying rounds to play for the ultimate trophy. As the first qualifier to ever make a French Open final, she’s set to face No. 8-ranked Mirra Andreeva out of Russia.
If Chwalińska wins the final, she will become just the second qualifier to ever win a Grand Slam, following Emma Raducanu’s 2021 US Open victory.
