This is a long and diverse journey back to the top of the game for Majchrzak, which estimates that he spends “100,000 or 150,000 euros” (£ 85,000- £ 130,000) to fight his case.
As soon as he underwent a scoran, he turned to savings to get around the world trying to rebuild his career.
Relying on Wildcard from the director of the Sympathetic Tournament, he was invited to play with the lowest steps of a professional ladder in Tunisia and Egypt, then moved to Rwanda, China and Taiwan for the ATP Challenger event.
Many wins means the ranking quickly improved and Yards Hard finally caused its first first entry to the Grand Slam’s main lottery since 2022 US Open.
With his wife Marta by his side at Wimbledon, Majchrzak said the couple “followed our dreams” together.
On Sunday, he will face the 17th seed Karen Khachanov to get a place in the quarter-finals of the SW19-which had never previously won the main match here.
Remarkably, Majchrzak also came to the grass field season with seven consecutive defeats and then pulled the 2021 finalist Matteo Berretini in the first round.
“Matteo is one of the best grass field players in the world, so my hope is not that high,” Majchrzak said.
“If I have to choose the Grand Slam to reach the fourth round – and maybe deeper – it will be here. There is an aura and magic about Wimbledon.”
