Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva won her first French Open title after defeating Poland’s Maja Chwalińska in straight sets in the Roland Garros final.
The 19-year-old put in a calm and dominant performance, winning 6-3, 6-2 to lift the trophy on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
The Russian teenage sensation controlled the match from the start, using her strong baseline game and consistent returns to pressure her opponent throughout the final.
The victory marks the biggest moment of her career so far and confirms her rise as one of the most promising young players in women’s tennis.
Chwalinska, who made it through qualifying to reach the final, struggled to match Andreeva’s pace and consistency, but still completed a remarkable race in Paris.
During the award ceremony, Chwalinska told Andreeva: “You are so young and talented. It’s so upsetting.”
Andreeva has been considered a rising star for the past two seasons, but this Grand Slam victory now places her among the biggest names in the sport at just 19 years old.
She also opened up about her mental health struggles and thanked herself for fighting “so many demons inside of me.”
The young tennis star said: “Only I know how hard it was for me. How nervous I was during these two weeks.”
Andreeva also expressed her gratitude to her fans for their continued support.
