Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$1,624,000.
Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.
Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.
It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.
She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.
She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.
Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

Move over Cinderella, there’s a new fairytale in town.

Giannis Antetokounmpo welcome to Oklahoma City. Someone tell Chet Holmgren to pack his bags this was his last game as a Thunder. Only 2 shot attempts and NONE in the 2nd half. One of the worst basketball performances I’ve ever seen from an All NBA player in a Game 7.
