Maja Chwalińska exits US Open singles; wins doubles upset

Overview

Maja Chwalińska has exited the US Open singles competition following a first-round defeat in her main draw debut. The 24-year-old Polish player, seeded 20th and ranked 22nd in the WTA, lost to American Taylor Townsend with a score of 2:6, 3:6.

Following her significant run to the French Open final earlier this year, Chwalińska struggled to match Townsend’s power, variety, and net play on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows. Chwalińska noted after the match that she “made too many errors and played too passively,” adding that she is still searching for her rhythm on hard courts.

The defeat exacerbates concerns regarding Chwalińska’s WTA ranking stability. Former coach Artur Szostaczko noted that she faces a “mathematical risk of dropping significantly” into the 60s if she fails to defend the points earned at Roland Garros. While her manager, Piotr Szczypka, expressed confidence in her ability to maintain or improve her standing, her recent form—including winning only one of her last three matches—has become a point of discussion among analysts like Marcin Matkowski.

However, Chwalińska found success in the doubles category. Partnering with Magda Linette, she secured a notable opening-round victory at the US Open by upsetting the fifth-seeded pair and reigning Wimbledon champions, Kristina Mladenovic and Hanyu Guo. The duo won the match 6:7(5), 6:4, 6:4, earning 50,000 euros for the performance. This victory provided a significant highlight for Polish tennis following her singles exit.
