O empresário de Maja Chwalinska, Piotr Szczypka, contou ao Sport Interia que discutiu com um jornalista por discordar de abordagens feitas. A tenista polonesa, vice-campeã de Roland Garros, também falou à WTA sobre como o ambiente ao redor dela mudou depois do resultado.

No relato dele, o episódio começou com uma defesa do profissional. “Recentemente conversei com um certo jornalista e literalmente briguei com ele. Ele me disse em defesa de alguns que, afinal, não é preciso se formar em jornalismo para ser jornalista. Eu respondi a ele: ‘Então escute, eu fui ao dentista cem vezes. Se quiser, venha aqui, eu arranco seu dente, porque, na verdade, eu já sei como fazer’”, afirmou Szczypka.

Chwalinska, por sua vez, contou à WTA que percebeu mudança na reação do público e da própria imprensa. “Foi muito difícil para mim. Agora vivo num mundo completamente diferente”, declarou.

Segundo a tenista, o tênis continua igual, mas o que está fora das quadras ficou distinto. Ela citou a atenção da imprensa e o fato de que qualquer pessoa pode se manifestar, algo que descreveu como um grande desafio. Para ela, coisas grandes estão acontecendo, ainda que o cenário seja outro.

A polonesa chegou à final de Roland Garros e, desde então, passou a conviver com uma exposição maior.
