Rapid Read Mirra Andreeva won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open (AP) Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva made hsitory by winning her first Grand Slam title at the French Open on Saturday, defeating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 in the women’s singles final. Seeded eighth, the 19-year-old produced a composed performance on Court Philippe-Chatrier to end Chwalinska’s dream run and secure the biggest victory of her young career. Youngest In 34 Years! Mirra Andreeva becomes the first teenager to lift the Roland Garros women’s trophy since Iga Swiatek captured the title in 2020. Her triumph also made her the youngest French Open women’s champion since Monica Seles, who claimed the third of her consecutive Paris crowns as an 18-year-old in 1992. With her first-ever major crown, Andreeva also became the first player, man or woman, born after 2005 to win a Grand Slam. Long regarded as one of tennis’s brightest prospects, Andreeva burst onto the international scene at 15 and has steadily developed into one of the sport’s leading players.

Her breakthrough Grand Slam success in Paris marks another milestone in a career many believe is only just beginning. Defeat at the final hurdle brought to an end an astonishing run for Chwalinska, which began in qualifying. She won nine matches in the French capital to become the first qualifier to reach the final in the Open era. However, the world number 114’s career is now set for a different stratosphere, as she will climb to 21 in the rankings and be assured of competing regularly in tennis’ biggest tournaments. Mirra Andreeva vs Maja Chwalinska – As It Happened Chwalinska showed some early nerves, dumping two serves straight into the net on the very first point of the match, with Andreeva finally forcing a break at the end of a seven-minute opening game. But the Pole broke back immediately when Andreeva overcooked a backhand down the line at 30-40, after a series of looping defensive shots from both sides of the court. Both players appeared to be struggling with the occasion, a situation not helped by blustery conditions on centre court, and two more consecutive breaks followed. Chwalinska then put an end to that sequence by holding to love, bringing the crowd to their feet as she showcased the variety of her shot-making.
