World No. 6 Mirra Andreeva is on the board, lifting her first Grand Slam trophy after Saturday’s straight-set 2026 French Open win over qualifier Maja Chwalińska.
The 19-year-old became the tournament’s youngest women’s singles champion since Monica Seles in 1992, and the first Russian woman to win Roland Garros since Maria Sharapova in 2014.
“I’ve had a lot of thoughts on how it’s going to happen, if it’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen,” Andreeva said. “The feeling in real life is so much better.”
After bursting onto the scene at 15, Andreeva’s first major title marks a highly anticipated milestone.
“I’m just happy I kept my focus, kept my composure,” she said, thanking her sports psychologist for her mental strides.
