Chwalinska Vs Andreeva, French Open Final: Russian Teenager Wins Maiden Grand Slam Title

Mirra Andreeva is the French Open 2026 champion. The 19-year-old Russian defeated Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in a lopsided Roland Garros women's singles final that lasted 83 minutes to claim her first Grand Slam title on Saturday (June 6). On Court Philippe-Chatrier, the eighth seed overwhelmed the world no. 114 in straight sets (6-3, 6-2). She thus became the first teenager to win the French Open women's singles title since Iga Swiatek in 2020 and also the youngest woman since 18-year-old Monica Seles, who completed a hat trick in 1992, to lift the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen on Paris's famed clay court. Chwalinska, 24, was bidding to become the first qualifier since Emma Raducanu in 2021 (US Open) to win a Grand Slam title. Attention now turns to Sunday's men's singles final, where German second seed Alexander Zverev will take on 10th-seeded Italian Flavio Cobolli.
