Mirra Andreeva Wins French Open, Youngest Female Champion in 34 Years

Nineteen‑year‑old Mirra Andreeva captured the Roland Garros women’s singles title, defeating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6‑3, 6‑2. The victory makes her the youngest female Grand Slam champion since 1990 and the first Russian woman to win a major since Maria Sharapova in 2014. Competing under a neutral flag, Andreeva is set to rise to world No. 6 and has already hinted at focusing on the upcoming grass‑court season.

During the trophy ceremony Andreeva briefly placed the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in the wrong spot, an error that left her visibly embarrassed before correcting the pose. She praised the mental support from her psychologist and said the title feels “much better than she had imagined.”

The final attracted 12.7 million TV viewers in France and generated a reported €12 million boost to local hospitality revenue, spurring higher hotel bookings and increased advertising income for French broadcasters.
