Marta Kostyuk Vs Mirra Andreeva, French Open 2026: Russian Prodigy Reaches First Grand Slam Final in Style
Russian teen sensation outclassed Ukrainian rival Marta Kostyuk 6-1, 6-3 to enter her first Grand Slam final. The 19-year-old becomes the third-youngest finalist of the 21st century after Coco Gauff, who was just 18 years old when she achieved the feat in 2022, and 17-year-old Kim Clijsters in 2001. With this win, she also avenged her straight-sets losses to Kostyuk in the Brisbane quarterfinals in January. She has previously reached the semifinals and quarterfinals of the Roland Garros, but this time she bettered her performance by making it to the final, where she'll be up against either 25th seed Diana Shnaider or qualifier Maja Chwalinska
