Wimbledon: Qualifier Sawangkaew Stuns No. 20 Seed Chwalinska For First Grand Slam Win
Qualifier Mananchaya Sawangkaew: Qualifier Mananchaya Sawangkaew produced the first major upset of Wimbledon 2026 on Monday, fighting back from the brink of defeat to knock out 20th seed Maja Chwalinska 2-6, 7-5, 6-2 after the Polish star suffered a cruel injury while serving for the match.
The 23-year-old Thai player saved one match point and then completed a stunning comeback in two hours and 41 minutes. This victory marked her first win in a Grand Slam main draw and her first against a Top 30 opponent.
Chwalinska, the Roland Garros finalist playing her first grass-court match of the season, seemed poised for an easy win as she led 6-2, 5-2 and held a match point. However, she slipped behind the baseline while chasing a ball, which allowed Sawangkaew to finish the point with a volley winner.
