Mirra Andreeva is the 2026 French Open women’s singles champion, becoming the first Russian woman to win a Grand Slam since Maria Sharapova won the 2014 French Open.
Andreeva, the No. 8 seed in the tournament, defeated Poland’s Maja Chwalińska 6–3, 6–2 during Saturday’s final. At just 19 years old, the Russian is the first teenager to win a Slam since 19-year-old Coco Gauff did so at the 2023 US Open. Andreeva is also the first player born after 2005, male or female, to reach and win a Grand Slam final—paving the way for a new generation of tennis stars with her victory.
Andreeva is also the youngest to raise the Suzanne-Lenten Cup since Monica Seles in 1992.
The roof of Philippe-Chartier Court opened right before the final kicked off, and both players dealt with wind gusts of up to 29 mph (according to the TNT broadcast of the final) throughout the match. Though Chwalińska made the match competitive to start, Andreeva pulled away toward the end of the first set and dominated most of the second.
During Andreeva’s run in Paris, she took down three other seeded players and dropped just one set—a 3–6 showing against Spain’s Marina Bassols Ribera to open her second-round match.
