Mirra Andreeva claims French Open title, beating Maja Chwalińska 6‑3, 6‑2

Nineteen‑year‑old Russian Mirra Andreeva, ranked eighth in the world, won her first Grand Slam by defeating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalińska 6‑3, 6‑2 in the women’s singles final at the 2026 French Open. The victory makes Andreeva the youngest Roland Garros women’s champion since Monica Seles in 1992 and the first post‑2005 Grand Slam winner. Chwalińska, entering the tournament as world No. 114 after coming through qualifying, became the first qualifier in the Open era to reach a French Open final and will jump to world No. 21, earning €1.4 million for her runner‑up run. The win awards Andreeva €2.8 million and 2,000 ranking points, propelling her to a career‑high ranking and confirming her status as a new star of women’s tennis. Reactions from former athletes and peers—including former Polish football chief Zbigniew Boniek, fellow tennis players Iga Świątek and Sorana Cîrstea—highlighted the historic nature of both the champion’s achievement and Chwalińska’s breakthrough run.
