Russian Mirra Andreeva won Roland Garros
First career Slam for the 19-year-old tennis player
Mirra Andreeva's first time. The Russian tennis player won Roland Garros 2026 by beating the tournament's revelation, Poland's Maja Chwalinska (who started from the qualifiers) with a score of 6-3, 6-2 in one hour and 23 minutes of play. For Andreeva, this was the first career Slam and the sixth title at Wta level. With this success, the 19-year-old becomes the third youngest Slam champion since 2000 (after Sharapova and Raducanu) and waves goodbye to Paris, also taking the first position in the Race to the Wta Finals.
The first set was very peculiar: neither player defended her serve in the first four games, with breaks and counter-breaks from one side to the other. The match changed, however, from the sixth game, when under 3-2 Andreeva scored 16 points to 4, taking the first set 6-3 in 43 minutes. Dominance by the Russian also in the second game, in which Chwalinska won only two games.
