@FortalezaEC Até que o time é competitivo, mas para maiores ambições é limitado demais. Muito erro individual grave, em todo jogo. Foco na série B que não será nada fácil.
Maja Chwalinska did not win Roland Garros, but she won the hearts of everyone over the last 3 weeks.
A journey that started from qualifying.
From world #114 to a new career high ranking of world #21.
The first qualifier in history to reach the Roland Garros final.
To think that in 2021, she stopped playing tennis for months due to a battle with depression and self doubt… Back then, it would’ve been nearly impossible for her to imagine herself in a Grand Slam final.
Her father worked as an electrician in the coal mines and her mother is a receptionist.
They worked tirelessly to support her dreams from the time she was little, and they uplifted her when she had to stop playing tennis to protect her mental health.
Her run in Paris reminded the world that if you work hard at your passion every day, if you have people who love you, and if you never give up on yourself, the ranking next to your name holds no meaning…
You can still make your own fairytale.
Congratulations on everything, Maja. 🥹
🇵🇱❤️
Chwalinska d. Diana Shnaider 7-6(4) 6-4
MAJA CHWALINSKA IS A GRAND SLAM FINALIST.
She is first qualifier in history to reach the Roland Garros final.
A statement that most people would’ve thought was unthinkable at the start of Roland Garros.
The world #114.
9th consecutive win since the start of qualifying.
18sets played, just 1 set dropped.
0 top 50 wins before this tournament.
Now she’s had 4 in a row & will leave Paris ranked AT WORST #21 in the world.
Move over Cinderella, there’s a new fairytale in town.
🇵🇱❤️
Fonseca d. Casper Ruud 7-5 7-6 5-7 6-2
JOÃO IS A GRAND SLAM QUARTERFINALIST.
The 2nd Brazilian man in the Open Era to reach the Roland Garros quarterfinals, after Guga.
His performance tonight was so powerful, so clutch, & so focused that it was hard to comprehend that we were watching a 19 year old.
Last match, he became the first teenager to beat Novak Djokovic in a Slam.
That match was the longest match of his LIFE.
He came back today & beat a 2-time Roland Garros finalist.
A teenager playing with the heart of a lion.
BORA CARALHO.

@FortalezaEC Ninguém pergunta para o Carpini em coletiva qual é a desses cruzamentos no segundo pau que saem quase sempre na linha de fundo? Desde o início do ano nisso e não corrigem.
