French Open 2026 Results: Qualifier Maja Cwalinska advances to Roland Garros quarterfinals


“Honestly no one knows me.”

But Poland’s Maja Cwalinska is perhaps just a few matches away from changing that forever.

The 24-year-old became the first qualifier to reach the French Open women’s singles quarter-finals in six years, defeating French player Diane Parry 6-3 6-2.

After coming through three qualifying rounds to secure her main draw debut at Roland Garros, a beaming Chowalinska shook her head in disbelief as she wrapped up her victory on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Prior to this tournament, the world number 114 had won two tour-level main draw matches on clay in her career and registered just one win – at Wimbledon in 2022 – in her only two Slam appearances.

But he has won all seven of his matches at Roland Garros since qualifying began two weeks ago, including six in straight sets, and is tipped to break into the world’s top 50.

“I definitely didn’t expect this. I’m very grateful to be here,” Cwalinska told the crowd.
