It is always said that joy comes and goes. And that is what happened today to Maja Chwalinska. The Roland Garros finalist and the biggest surprise of the Parisian tournament, where she reached the final round after going through the qualifying stage. Her good performance earned her a wild card for the main draw of Wimbledon, as at the time of the draw cutoff she was ranked 114th in the world.

A few weeks after her experience at Roland Garros, the Polish player was back in action at Wimbledon against Thailand's Mananchaya Sawangkaew. Everything was going smoothly, and her level was as high as it had been in Paris; she led 6-2, 5-2 and even had a match point at 5-3. However, a slip at that match point marked the beginning of the end for Chwalinska at the prestigious London tournament.

One slip can change everything. She was one point away from winning… https://t.co/KPyHvVGF35 pic.twitter.com/riHxPy13cD

Maja Chwalinska twisted her ankle when she had a match point and ended up losing in her debut at Wimbledon 2026

The Polish player had twisted her ankle and could barely move, allowing the Thai player to gradually turn the match around to claim the second set. Everything seemed to point towards Chwalinska withdrawing, but she chose to finish the match in tears. The final set was a formality for Sawangkaew, who secured the victory 2-6, 7-5, 6-2. Now it remains to be seen the extent of the injury for the world number 21 and the potential short and medium-term repercussions.

Maja Chwalinska has experienced both sides of tennis in less than a month. While she cried tears of joy in Roland Garros upon reaching the final, a few weeks later she shed tears of sorrow over a silly slip at the point that would have taken her to the second round of Wimbledon.
