Maja Chwalińska delivered a dominant performance in Roland Garros qualifying and moved one step away from the main draw after a one-sided win over France’s Carole Monnet. The Polish player needed only a short time to control the match, and the scoreline reflected that superiority: 6-0, 6-1.
The result came after Chwalińska had already advanced past another French opponent in the opening round, beating Alice Rame 6-3 after taking the first set 6-0. Her latest victory was even more emphatic, as Monnet, ranked No. 195 in the world, struggled from the opening games and never found a stable rhythm.
Early control left Monnet with almost no room to respond
Chwalińska started the match at high speed and quickly broke serve twice in the first four games. She protected her own delivery throughout that opening stretch and allowed Monnet to win only two points across those four games.
The French player had support from a small home crowd, but it did little to change the flow. Monnet managed only six points in the entire first set, while Chwalińska closed it out 6-0 with complete authority.
Second set briefly changed direction before another Polish surge
Monnet opened the second set with a break, which gave the match a different look at the start. Chwalińska responded immediately, levelled at 1-1, and then regained control as the set progressed.
At 4-1 and 30-0, Monnet was forced to take a medical timeout because of an ankle problem. The interruption did not alter the outcome for long, as Chwalińska kept her focus and finished the match with a 6-1 set.
A place in the final round is now within reach
Chwalińska now moves into the final round of qualifying in Paris, where the winner of Irina-Camelia Begu against Suzan Lamens will stand between her and a main-draw berth. A victory there would place her alongside other Polish players already associated with Roland Garros, including Iga Świątek, Magda Linette and Magdalena Fręch.
For Chwalińska, the form she has shown in qualifying suggests she is competing with real confidence and efficiency. Her run so far has been built on firm serving, repeated breaks and an ability to maintain pressure when opponents try to reset the momentum.
