A three -hour Polish thriller at Australian Open! A crazy day for Polish tennis
Maja Chwalińska, Kamil Majchrzak and Maks Kaśnikowski – included in the second round of qualifications for Australian Open. There was plenty of emotions on the court.
It started with Maks Kaśnikowski (ATP 209), who from Sunday to Monday of Polish time secured a place in the next qualification round for Australian Open. The Pole is waiting for the second round match with Hugo Dellien (ATP 122). The challenge is a big, because we are talking about a tennisian who is 31 years old and certainly will not easily give the field to ten years younger Pole.

Kaśnikowski needed two hours and 46 minutes to win in three sets with Lithuanian Vilius Gaubas (ATP 190). Finally, the Pole won 6: 7 (7), 7: 6 (2), 6: 2.
Kamil Majchrzak (ATP 117) also noted a three -hundred crossing. A Pole in a clash with Marco Trungellitim (ATP 141) saved two match balls to finally win 3: 6, 7: 6 (4), 6: 3. The Argentinean could not believe in such a turn of cases, but a tennis player who was a member of the silver team of United Cup 2025, he actually managed to turn the fate – a lost – it seemed, a duel.
Even more played by Maja Chwalińska (WTA 126). A friend of Iga Świątek, also a member of the Polish national team, faced Czech Dominika Salkova (WTA 152). The fate of the meeting was decided by a super tie-break. After three hours and 20 minutes, Chwalińska finally won, but the Polish woman showed a great return, among others From the state 3: 7, or defending two match balls. If we add to this the fact that the Polish tennis player was losing in the third set already 3: 5, it shows what scale of return to the winning path.
