Sebelum menghadapi Diana Shnaider di semifinal, petenis Polandia peringkat 114 dunia itu memaparkan pandangannya mengenai ketatnya persaingan di level kualifikasi.

"I think the level is very close.

The matches of the qualifications don't present a level of play very different from that of the main draw.

The level of competition is high.

It must simply believe it, fight and believe that, perhaps one day, there will be a click for us too!

It's that what I withdraw from this experience," kata Maja Chwalinska.

Perjalanan karier Chwalinska sempat diwarnai masa sulit ketika ia berjuang melawan depresi. Ia sempat berniat meninggalkan dunia tenis.

"I met difficulties, I pushed, I had the feeling that it was necessary that I stay strong, solid, that I continue to train.

And then then, I did not arrive anymore to go out of the bed... There was no more life in me.

I knew that I really needed to stop, to have a cut. Otherwise, I would not have been able to continue.

I needed that.

And honestly, I did not know if I was going to return to tennis or not, to be frank," kata Maja Chwalinska.

Meskipun akhirnya kalah di babak final dari Andreeva, performa variatif Chwalinska sepanjang turnamen mendapat pujian dari Diana Shnaider yang ia kalahkan di semifinal.

"I'm not surprised, she was very good. Sometimes, it takes time, one reveals oneself on the late.

She is very trickish, her amortized, her slices, and in more, she is left-handed," kata Diana Shnaider.

Gaya permainan unik Chwalinska juga diakui oleh Diane Parry yang kalah di babak 16 besar. "I don't know her so much that," kata Diane Parry.
