Mirra Andreeva wins French Open women's title, sparking ranking surge

Nineteen‑year‑old Russian Mirra Andreeva captured her maiden Grand Slam at the French Open, defeating Poland's Maja Chwalińska 6‑3, 6‑2 in the women's final and climbing to world No. 6. Chwalińska, who entered the tournament ranked 114, surged to No. 21 after her impressive run to the final, marking a dramatic career turnaround.

In the men's draw, Germany's Alexander Zverev secured his first major trophy, overcoming Italy's Flavio Cobolli in a five‑set victory (6‑1, 4‑6, 6‑4, 6‑7(5), 6‑1). The tournament also produced a major upset as 19‑year‑old Brazilian João Fonseca rallied from two sets down to defeat Novak Djokovic, the 39‑year‑old Serbian legend, in a five‑set thriller.

Several other players moved up the WTA rankings after the fortnight of play, including Emma Navarro, Petra Marcinko, Anhelina Kalinina, Zhang Shuai and Peyton Stearns, while a few fell, such as Maya Joint, Magda Linette and Paula Badosa. The French Open’s dramatic matches and surprising results reshaped the top tiers of both the ATP and WTA rankings.
