Mirra Andreeva secured her first Grand Slam title after beating qualifier Maja Chwalinska in the Roland Garros final.
After a tournament filled with shocks, there was no upset to be had in the championship match, with Andreeva beating Chwalinska in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
How many Grand Slams titles does Mirra Andreeva have at the same age Aryna Sabalenka is now (28)?
The clash got off to a nervy start, with neither star holding serve throughout the first four games, but as soon as the Russian got going, she couldn’t be stopped.
At 19, Andreeva became the youngest women’s singles Roland Garros champion since Monica Seles in 1992.
With the triumph, she has also now matched one of Iga Swiatek‘s all-time records.
Mirra Andreeva equals Iga Swiatek’s record with French Open win
Of her first 20 matches at Roland Garros, Andreeva has now won 18 of them, which is as many as Swiatek managed.
Andreeva and Swiatek’s tallies trail that of joint-leaders Seles, Margaret Court and Chris Evert, all of whom totalled 19.
Prove me wrong – Aryna Sabalenka WILL NOT win a Grand Slam in 2026
She has two attempts left…
Of all four majors, Andreeva has had by far the most success at Roland Garros, having reached at least the quarterfinals in each of her last three runs.
She made the semifinals in 2024, the last eight in 2025, and now she has finally clinched the title.
Her best result at a major outside of the French Open was a quarterfinal finish at Wimbledon during the 2025 season.
Mirra Andreeva becomes third-youngest major winner since 2000
Andreeva is also now the third youngest Grand Slam winner in women’s singles of the 2000s.
The only two players who won a major at a younger age in the last 26 years are Emma Raducanu and Maria Sharapova.
Raducanu captured the 2021 US Open title aged 18 years and 290 days, and also became the first qualifier ever to win a Grand Slam.
Sharapova won the 2004 Wimbledon championship at the age of 17 years and 63 days, beating Serena Williams to complete the feat.
