Mira Andrejeva Wins First Grand Slam at Roland Garros
Russian teenager Mira Andrejeva captured her first Grand Slam title by defeating Poland's Maja Chwalińska 6‑3, 6‑2 in the women's singles final of the French Open. The win makes Andrejeva the youngest Roland Garros champion since Monica Seles in 1992 and moves her to sixth in the WTA rankings. Her victory earned her €2.8 million in prize money, pushing her career earnings past €10 million.
The tournament was notable for Chwalińska's breakthrough as the first qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final. Andrejeva's dominant performance, not dropping a set in her last five matches, underscored her rising stature on the women's tour.
