Andreeva dominates to win first major title in Paris

Nineteen-year-old Mirra Andreeva has claimed her maiden Grand Slam title, dominating the French Open final against Poland's Maja Chwalinska. The eighth-seeded Russian secured a decisive victory with a score of 6-3, 6-2 in the championship match held in Paris.

Andreeva, who has had a strong season including a title in Linz, earned 2.8 million euros for her breakthrough performance at a major tournament. Her opponent, Chwalinska, who entered the tournament as a qualifier, received half that amount and will see her WTA ranking jump from 114th to 21st.

The final, played under windy conditions, saw the server hold serve for the first time only in the fifth game, after a series of breaks. Chwalinska, ranked 114th in the world, had fought her way through qualifying for the second major of the year. Initially, the match featured high topspin shots, described as "moonballs," from both players.

Chwalinska, known for her playful style, eventually lost her serve again at 3-4 in the first set, allowing Andreeva to break and then confirm her advantage to take the set 6-4. Andreeva continued her momentum, winning eight consecutive games. She built a commanding 5-0 lead in the second set within just 21 minutes. Although Chwalinska managed to win a consolation game, Andreeva closed out the match in 82 minutes to claim the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.
