June 6 (UPI) -- Mirra Andreeva morphed Roland Garros' red brick dust into quicksand for a drained Maja Chwalinska en route to a straight-sets victory in Saturday's 2026 French Open women's singles final.
The 6-3, 6-2 triumph gave the No. 8 Russian her first Grand Slam title in her maiden major final appearance. Andreeva clinched the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen and a $3.2 million first-place prize with a backhand winner into the right corner of Court Philippe-Chatrier.
"I've been watching Roland Garros on TV since I was very, very young," Andreeva said on the TNT broadcast. "It was a big dream of mine to win this tournament.I honestly can't believe I'm holding this trophy right now."
Andreeva, 19, edged her 24-year-old Polish foe 25-10 in winners and converted 7 of 12 break point opportunities in the 88-minute match. She became the 12th teenager to win the women's singles title in Paris. Andreeva dropped just one set through her seven matches at Roland Garros.
