Roland-Garros: Diane Parry is decisively eliminated by Maja Chwalinska in the third round

Paris – 01.06.2026: At the French Open on the legendary Court Philippe-Chatrier, French hope Diane Parry disappointed on Monday against the qualifier Maja Chwalinska from Poland. After a dominant performance by the Polish player, the round of 16 duel ended in just over 90 minutes with a clear 6-3, 6-2 victory for Chwalinska. Parry, who started with much praise and expectations, never managed to find her rhythm and was constantly put under pressure by her opponent’s aggressive and intense play. Already in the first set, Chwalinska took control of the game, allowing few opportunities and scoring with precise shots from the baseline. The qualifier played with remarkable confidence and impressive consistency, visibly overwhelming Parry.

In the second set, Chwalinska further intensified the pressure. Parry barely managed to impose her own game or create dangerous attacking points.
