19-Year-Old Mira Andreeva Crowned French Open Champion

Russian teenager Mira Andreeva has captured her maiden Grand Slam title, triumphing at the French Open women's singles final. At just 19 years old, Andreeva defeated Poland's Maya Chwalińska in a commanding 6-3, 6-2 victory on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Andreeva's win makes her the youngest French Open singles champion since Monica Seles, who achieved the feat at 18 in 1992. She is also the first teenager to win a Grand Slam women's singles title since Coco Gauff's victory at the US Open in 2023. The rising star, ranked 8th in the world, needed just 1 hour and 22 minutes to secure her first major championship, adding a Grand Slam trophy to her five WTA tour titles.

This breakthrough performance at Roland Garros follows Andreeva's consistent progress in previous years, having reached the third round in 2023, the semifinals in 2024, and the quarterfinals in 2025. Her victory propels her to world number 6 in the upcoming rankings. Meanwhile, Chwalińska, who entered the tournament as a qualifier and was dubbed a 'Cinderella' for her surprising run to the final, could not overcome Andreeva's dominance. This marks the second time a qualifier has reached a Grand Slam women's singles final since Emma Raducanu in 2021.
