Maja Chwalińska has earned a ladies' singles wildcard for Wimbledon 2026. The All England Club confirmed the 24-year-old Polish player in its initial round of main-draw entries on Monday.
Maja Chwalińska Sees Meteoric WTA Rankings Rise
Chwalińska reached the French Open final just three weeks ago as a qualifier, becoming only the second to do so in Open Era history. She fell to Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-2 in the title match, but not before beating four Top 50 opponents across the tournament's two-week run.
Before Roland Garros, Chwalińska sat at world No. 114. After the tournament, she jumped 93 spots to a career-high No. 21.
That climb also came with a significant payday. She reportedly earned more than $1.6 million in prize money from the French Open.
Wimbledon Wildcard Entries and 2026 Schedule
With her new WTA ranking, Chwalińska no longer needs to grind through qualifying rounds. Instead, she enters Wimbledon with direct main-draw status and two weeks of momentum behind her. The London Grand Slam officials confirmed her wildcard alongside British players Harriet Dart and Katie Swan.
The grass-court tournament still has one wildcard spot to fill, with fans speculating Serena Williams might use it to make her singles return.
Wimbledon kicks off June 29th.
