Chwalińska Says No Sponsor Drove Roland-Garros Outfit Changes During Her Run to 1st Slam Final

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jun 5

Maja Chwalińska said her changing Roland-Garros outfits had a simple cause: the world No. 114 is not sponsored.
The Polish qualifier dismissed any deeper explanation after switching from a black kit against Diane Parry to a yellow top and black skirt later in the tournament.
Her answer came after she reached the Paris final with wins over Anna Kalinskaya in the quarter-finals and Diana Shnaider in the semi-finals.
That run made Chwalińska the first qualifier to reach the Roland-Garros women’s singles final and only the second woman in the Open Era to make any Grand Slam final as a qualifier.
Mirra Andreeva awaits in the final, capping a breakout fortnight for a player whose results have outpaced the commercial backing usually seen at that stage.
