Poland’s Malwina Rowinska is set to compete at the latest J500 event on the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors calendar in Offenbach and will hope to make further strides in the girls’ rankings after reaching a career-high No. 51.

The 18-year-old reached the last eight at J500 Criciuma in March and the final at J200 Istres, where victory would have secured her a maiden singles title of the 2023 season, last week. She topped the doubles podium J300 Porto Alegre in early March. 

Rowinska has also travelled as part of the Grand Slam Player Development Programme/ITF Touring Team to both Australia and South America during 2023. As such, it is time to get to know Malwina a little better.
