Mirra Andreeva beats Maja Chwalinska and wins Roland Garros

Mirra Andreeva wins the women’s Roland Garros 2026. The 19-year-old Siberian, seeded eighth, defeated the Pole in the final 6-3 6-3 in an hour and 22 minutes of play Maja Chwalinska, number 114 in the world starting from the qualifiers and protagonist of a journey that remains extraordinary.

It’s the first Slam title for the very young pupil of Conchita Martinez, who in the Majors up to now had achieved the best result in the semi-final, again in Paris, in 2024. For Andreeva it is also the sixth title in her career, the third this season after Adelaide and Linz. The teenager was the eighth seed in the draw.

With this success the Russian tennis player comes very close to the position number five of the WTA ranking, but above all to jump to the top of the 2025 Race, even bypassing number one Aryna Sabalenka. Andreeva is also the fourth youngest ever (at 19 years, one month and 8 days) to win the women’s Roland Garros. They only did better than her Monica Seles, Arantxa Sanchez and Steffi Graf.
