In fact, ahead of the event, the Pole had never defeated a top-50 talent. That swiftly changed across the past three weeks with the toppling of four elite players en route to the title showdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely unforgettable three weeks for me, such a great time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely very challenging one today,&#8221; she added. &#8220;All credits to Mirra, because she&#8217;s such an incredible player, so solid. She handled the conditions much, much better than me, so she 100 per cent deserved to win. But I think I can be proud of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chwalinska\u2019s dream trip to Paris came during just a third Grand Slam main draw appearance. As a result, she was just the second-ever qualifier to make a Grand Slam singles final in the Open era, joining US Open 2021 champion Emma Raducanu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI&#8217;ve never really played against the high-ranked players before, I feel like I definitely gained a lot of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-688998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
