Chwalinska's Stunning Upset at French Open

Diane Parry, the last Frenchwoman standing in the French Open singles, was ousted on Monday by Poland's Maja Chwalinska. The final scores were 6-3, 6-2, allowing Chwalinska to secure her spot in her first Grand Slam quarter-final.

Parry, who had previously shocked world number six Amanda Anisimova in the third round, struggled in her debut fourth-round match at a Grand Slam. Chwalinska, a 24-year-old qualifier, successfully outmaneuvered Parry with her diverse tactics, employing a mix of slices, drop shots, and clever variations on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Chwalinska broke Parry late in the first set and served it out at 5-3. In the second set, she saved the only break point against her and swept through the last five games, clinching a commanding victory. Ranked 114th globally, Chwalinska is the first qualifier to reach the women's French Open quarter-finals since 2020. She is set to face Russia's Anna Kalinskaya next.
