Maja Chwalińska (Polish pronunciation:[ˈmajaxfaˈliɲska,-lij̃ska]; born 11 October 2001) is a Polishtennis player. She has a career-high ranking of world No. 121, achieved on 31 March 2025, and a best doubles ranking of No. 91, achieved on 9 June 2025. She won her first senior singles title at aITF Circuit tournament in Bytom in July 2019, having already won four ITF doubles titles up to that point.
Grand Slam performance - Singles:
Grand Slam performance - Doubles:
She won the European 14-and-under doubles title in 2015, and the 16-and-under doubles title in 2016.[1] She was a member of the Polish team which won the Junior Fed Cup title in 2016,[2] and made the final of the2017 Australian Open junior doubles before completing a trio of European junior titles by winning the 16-and-under singles title six months later.[3]
Her highest junior Tennis Europe ranking was No. 6 in August 2017, having reached No. 5 in the under-14 rankings in April 2015.[1]
Chwalińska's profile received a boost in May when she played in the ITF tournament in Trnava, Slovakia. In her final round qualifying match againstIrina Falconi, she produced an amazing "tweener". This became an internet sensation. Chwalińska went on to beat Falconi, and then the pair of them became part of a very unusual club when they met again in the first round proper. Chwalińska was originally drawn to meetCarol Zhao, who withdrew through injury and was replaced by Falconi as a lucky loser. In the rematch Chwalińska won again, but was defeated in the second round.
A few weeks later she won her second doubles title, in Toruń. She followed that by finishing runner-up in the singles at the European Junior Championship toClara Tauson, and was a losing semifinalist in the doubles withWeronika Falkowska. In Warsaw, she reached the semifinals of the singles, going down in a marathon three hours and 15 minutes three-set match toVictoria Bosio, and won the doubles with Daria Kuczer, racing away to take the match tie-break 10–1, after losing the first set.
Poland hosted the Europe/Africa IFed Cup pool at Zielona Góra in February. Chwalińska represented her country at senior level for the first time in the tie against Denmark, where she partneredAlicja Rosolska in the doubles. They beatMaria Jespersen andHannah Viller Møller, 6–0, 6–3.
She reached the doubles final of the ITF event in Trnava the following week, and the singles semifinals in Altenkirchen a week after that. Moving on to England, she andUlrikke Eikeri won the doubles title at the ITF tournament in Sunderland, coming from match points down to win the match tie-break 11–9, Chwalińska finishing with an amazing backhand down the line from well outside the court.
Her first singles title followed in July, appropriately enough on home soil in Bytom, where she beatNina Potočnik in the final. A week later, she made it two singles titles in a row on the Polish swing of the circuit, the runner-up this time beingDejana Radanović, and a week after that she successfully defended her doubles title in Warsaw, the differences from the previous year being that the tournament had now been upgraded to a $60k event and that Eikeri was her partner this time. Her partner from the previous year, Daria Kuczer, was half of the team they defeated in the first round. The following day saw a dream result as she defeatedAnastasiya Komardina in the singles final to complete a treble of titles in consecutive weeks.
Her last two tournaments for the year were in Székesfehérvár, but she lost toIrina Bara in the first round both times. She also lost in the first round of doubles in both weeks.
Chwalińska started the new season by travelling to Australia for the first time since 2017, making her senior Grand Slam debut in theAustralian Open, where she lost in the first round of qualifying toIsabella Shinikova. At theFed Cup Group I tournament inEsch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, Chwalińska, again partnered Alicja Rosolska in the doubles, this time againstSlovenia. Rosolska picked up a slight injury during the match, hampering her enough to ruin their chance of victory. Chwalińska paired withMagdalena Fręch in the following day's win overTurkey. Her only subsequent tournament before theCOVID-19 pandemic halted international tennis was at Altenkirchen, where she had to withdraw through injury during her second round singles match. That meant, she andLinda Fruhvirtová had to default their doubles semifinal.
Chwalińska returned to tournament play in August, at thePrague Open which had been upgraded to replace the cancelled US Open qualifying competition. She had easy wins in the first two rounds, but injured her wrist in her third-round loss to Clara Tauson. She resumed by winning a Polish inter-club tournament at the beginning of December, and followed that with an ITF tournament in Selva Gardena. Beaten in the first round of singles byLea Bošković, she and Linda Fruhvirtová made it to the doubles final, where they lost to Italian 17 year oldsMatilde Paoletti andLisa Pigato, the latter being the French Open junior doubles champion.
Chwalińska again found Clara Tauson to be a stumbling block when she played her first tournament of the year in Fujairah, losing to the Dane in the quarterfinals. She lost toYuan Yue in the first round of qualifying for theAustralian Open inDubai before reaching the semifinals of a $25k tournament in Grenoble, but aggravated her wrist injury in Altenkirchen the following week and had to withdraw after winning her first match.
She then went to Argentina for a series of $25k tournaments, but contracted COVID-19[4] and had to return home after quarantining without playing a match.
She qualified for her first major at the2022 Wimbledon Championships defeating No. 2 seedCoCo Vandeweghe in the final round of qualifying.[5][6] She won her first major match defeatingKateřina Siniaková in the first round.[7][8]
PartneringKatarzyna Kawa, Chwalińska won her firstWTA 125 doubles title at theArgentina Open, defeatingLaura Pigossi andMayar Sherif in the final which went to a deciding champions tiebreak.[9] The following week she won her maiden WTA 125 singles title at theFlorianópolis Open in Brazil, overcomingYlena In-Albon in the final in straight sets.[10][11] Alongside Laura Pigossi, she also won thedoubles title at the same tournament, defeatingNicole Fossa Huergo andValeriya Strakhova in the final.[10] On 9 December, Chwalińska reached a new career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 128.[12]
