Mirra Andreeva wins French Open, youngest women’s champion since 1992

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva captured her first Grand Slam title at the French Open, defeating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6‑3, 6‑2 in the final. At 19, Andreeva became the youngest Roland Garros women’s singles champion since Monica Seles in 1992 and the first player born after 2005 to win a Grand Slam, moving up to world No. 21.

Chwalinska’s run was historic as well, becoming the first qualifier to reach a French Open final in the Open era after winning nine matches in Paris. British Grand Slam champion Emma Raducanu praised the Polish player’s achievement, saying, “It’s very rare for someone to come through qualifying and reach a final, so Maja Chwalinska did an incredible job,” and noted her own strong start on grass at Queen’s Club.

The victory adds the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen to Andreeva’s growing trophy cabinet, which already includes two WTA 1000 titles, while Chwalinska’s performance is expected to boost her ranking and future tournament entries.
