Teenager Mirra Andreeva defeated Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday to claim her first Grand Slam title at the French Open in Paris. The 19-year-old Russian eighth seed became the youngest woman to win the Roland Garros singles crown since Monica Seles in 1992. Andreeva overcame a tense start marked by four consecutive breaks of serve before reeling off nine straight games to take control of the match. Chwalinska, ranked 114th in the world, was attempting to become the first qualifier to win the French Open but could not match her opponent’s power from the baseline. Andreeva credited her coach Conchita Martinez during the trophy ceremony and also thanked herself for persevering through difficult moments. The victory fulfills the promise Andreeva has shown since her WTA Tour breakthrough in 2023.
