We all love a qualifier. It is such a romantic story.
The fact that Maja Chwalinska was having a cash crisis and couldn't pay the hotel bills until her sponsor stepped in and gave her an advance will resonate with people.
She has comfortably doubled her career earnings in the space of 10 days.

"I am very grateful. I was definitely nervous. It is normal and I care. I am stressed, of course, but I try to focus on my job and my games. I am happy that I did that.
"I just try to win every match that I am playing, but I am not focusing on confidence. I am playing against the best players in the world, so I will not compare myself to them."
On her recovery plan: "Just sleep and maybe watch some Netflix - I am good!"

Maja Chwalinska just takes everything in her stride. The way she has played it point by point is incredibly impressive. What a run she is on!
This will be career-changing for her. Whether it will be life-changing I don't know, but certainly career-changing. It will give her the chance to invest back in her tennis and some financial freedom.
