How old is Maja Chwalinska?
Maja Chwalinska was born on 11 October 2001 and celebrated her 25th birthday in the week before the Wuhan Open final. Older sources say she is 24. The WTA player page and Wikipedia agree on the date of birth.
Maja Chwalinska’s height
The WTA lists her at 5 ft 5 in (1.64 m). She is left-handed, and her game leans on spin, slice and drop shots more than raw power.
Maja Chwalinska’s ranking
She was ranked No. 114 before the French Open and moved up to No. 24 the Monday after the final, Unione Sarda reported. The WTA player page showed her at No. 22 on 18 October, and rankings change every Monday.
The French Open run
At the French Open she qualified for the main draw and won nine consecutive matches to reach the final, becoming the first qualifier to do so, Flashscore reported. Ranked 114 at the time, she beat Diana Shnaider 7-6 (4), 6-4 in the semi-final. In the final on 6 June she lost 6-3, 6-2 to 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva, who won her first Grand Slam title, according to the AP.
The Wuhan Open run
October brought her best hard-court week. In Wuhan she beat Mayar Sherif 6-3, 6-2, Marie Bouzkova 1-6, 6-1, 6-1, Iva Jovic 6-4, 6-1 and Maria Sakkari 6-0, 3-6, 7-5 to reach the semi-finals, the WTA’s preview shows. Jovic, ranked No. 11, was the highest-ranked player she had ever beaten, UNI reported. Recent Wuhan champions include Aryna Sabalenka in 2024 and Coco Gauff in 2025.
In the semi-final on 17 October she beat Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-1 to reach her first WTA 1000 final, the WTA said. Swiatek was hampered by a left-leg injury, Reuters reported. The final against Britain’s Sonay Kartal is on Sunday 18 October.
Her friendship with Iga Swiatek
The two have known each other since they were about ten and played junior doubles together. Their semi-final was their first competitive match against each other in around ten years, Reuters said. Chwalinska called Swiatek a “living legend” afterwards.
Career before 2026
Most of her career has been on the lower tier of women’s tennis, including ITF tournaments and the WTA 125 series. Her profiles show her first WTA 125 win at Florianopolis in 2024 and then another in Montreux in 2025. Her career highlight and probably life-changing event has been qualifying for the 2025 Australian Open and her unexpected run in the 2026 French Open, which changed the scheduling for the rest of her year and significantly improved her ranking.
Personal life and net worth
There is no verified public information about her relationships, and we don’t speculate. There is no reliable net worth figure either. Career prize money is on her WTA profile, but it is not the same as net worth.
