Polish athletes Chwalińska, Włodarczyk face tough overseas competition

Tennis commentator Lech Sidor warned that rising Polish player Maja Chwalińska will encounter fierce opposition at the upcoming WTA 1000 event in Toronto, saying, "Mają już naostrzone kosy… to jest potwarz." He noted that top players are prepared to challenge her on hard courts and that Chwalińska will need significant work to succeed abroad.

In cycling, Polish champion Dominika Włodarczyk expressed optimism ahead of the women's Tour de France, stating she feels "super" after training in Italy and is confident despite physical fatigue. She aims to improve on last year’s performance as the Polish squad joins a strong international field that includes defending champion Pauline Ferrand‑Prévot and other world‑tour riders.
