She won the 16-and-under singles title six months later.[5] Her highest junior Tennis Europe ranking was No. 6 in August 2017.[3]

2019: Fed Cup debut

Poland hosted the Europe/Africa I Fed Cup pool at Zielona Góra in February. Chwalińska represented her country at senior level for the first time in the tie against Denmark, where she partnered Alicja Rosolska in the doubles. They defeated Maria Jespersen and Hannah Viller Møller, recording her first Fed Cup win. She reached the doubles final of the ITF event in Trnava the following week and the singles semifinals in Altenkirchen the week after. She and Ulrikke Eikeri won the doubles title at the ITF tournament in Sunderland, England. Her first singles ITF title followed in July in Bytom. A week later, she made it two singles titles in a row on the Polish swing of the circuit.[citation needed]

2020–21: Grand Slam qualifying debut

Chwalińska made her Grand Slam qualifying debut at the 2020 Australian Open, where she lost in the first round.[citation needed] She returned to tournament play in August at the 2020 Prague Open, which had been upgraded to replace the cancelled US Open qualifying competition.[6]

Chwalińska lost to Yuan Yue in the first round of qualifying for the 2021 Australian Open, which was held in Dubai,[7] before reaching the semifinals of a $25k tournament in Grenoble, but aggravated her wrist injury in Altenkirchen the following week and had to withdraw from her first match. She then went to Argentina for a series of $25k tournaments, but contracted COVID-19 and had to return home, after quarantining without playing a match.[8]

2022–23: Major debut at Wimbledon and first win

Chwalińska qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, defeating second seed CoCo Vandeweghe in the final round of qualifying.[9][10] She defeated Kateřina Siniaková for her first Grand Slam win.[11] For her WTA Tour debut, outside the Majors, Chwalińska was given a wildcard entry into the main draw at the 2022 Poland Open she recorded her second tour-level win over Rebeka Masarova.[12] At the 2023 Poland Open, where she also entered as a wildcard, she lost to Laura Siegemund in the first round.[13]

2024: WTA 125 singles & doubles titles, top 150

In October, Chwalińska qualified for the main draw at the Mérida Open and defeated Rebecca Marino for her first WTA Tour win on hardcourts,[14] where she lost to top seed Renata Zarazúa.[15]

Partnering Katarzyna Kawa, Chwalińska won her first WTA 125 doubles title at the Argentina Open defeating Laura Pigossi and Mayar Sherif in the final which went to a deciding tiebreak.[16] The following week, she won her first WTA 125 singles title at the MundoTenis Open in Florianópolis, Brazil overcoming Ylena In-Albon in the final in straight sets.[17] Alongside Laura Pigossi, she also won the doubles title, defeating Nicole Fossa Huergo and Valeriya Strakhova in the final.[17] Chwalińska reached a new career-high singles ranking of world No. 128 on 9 December 2025.[18]

2025: Second WTA 125 singles title

Chwalinska at the 2025 Italian Open

At the 2025 Iași Open, Chwalińska defeated Iryna Shymanovich to record her first WTA Tour win since 2024,[19] before losing to sixth seed Jil Teichmann in the second round.[20] Chwalińska won her second WTA 125 singles title at the 2025 Montreux Ladies Open, defeating fifth seed Darja Semeņistaja in the final.[21]

2026: French Open debut & semifinal, top 30

Chwalinska at the 2026 Transylvania Open

In April 2026, she won her third WTA 125 singles title at the Oeiras Ladies Open.[22][23]

Ranked No. 114, Chwalińska qualified for the main draw at the 2026 French Open making her debut in Paris.[24] She reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career with wins over Zheng Qinwen, 23rd seed Elise Mertens both in straight sets.[25][26] She reached the fourth round defeating Maria Sakkari. She joined compatriot and world No. 3, Iga Świątek, as the first two Polish players to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros the same year. It was just the third time that this occurred at any major after Marta Domachowska and Agnieszka Radwańska (2008 Australian Open) as well as Magda Linette and Świątek (2023 Australian Open).[27] She defeated home favorite Diane Parry to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in her career and become only the fourth Polish Grand Slam quarterfinalist in the Open Era following Radwańska, Świątek and Linette.[28] She continued her run by defeating Anna Kalinskaya in the quarterfinals, becoming just the second qualifier to reach the semifinals of the French Open after Nadia Podoroska in 2020.[citation needed] As a result of reaching the semifinals, Chwalińska entered the top 30 on 8 June 2026.[citation needed]
