a dark day for tennis, sport and especially for women who watch sports. this is but a reminder that men will always beat domestic abuse allegations and in return will be given the highest honour whilst women suffer everyday. thoughts with olga and brenda.
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. 🥹

watching someone go from loving you everyday, to treating you like you’re the worst thing that ever happened to them really turns you into something you're not... especially when you didn’t do sht to get treated that way.
Alana Anísio Rosa, de 20 anos, foi ATACADA dentro da própria casa, em São Gonçalo, após recusar um pedido de namoro de um stalker.
Ela levou mais de 15 facadas em uma tentativa de feminicídio e agora se encontra em estado grave e coma induzido.
Se você for do Rio de Janeiro e tiver disponibilidade, por favor, doe sangue nos locais abaixo, tanto em nome de Alana, quanto de outras vidas.
JUSTIÇA POR ALANA.
