Power Meets Guile as Andreeva Faces Fairytale Qualifier Chwalinska

Andreeva can become the first Russian to win Roland Garros since 2014, while Chwalinska could be the first qualifier to capture the title.

  • On Saturday, eighth-seeded Mirra Andreeva will face qualifier Maja Chwalinska in the French Open final at Roland Garros, determining the winner of the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in one of the most unlikely championship matchups in recent Grand Slam history.
  • Andreeva, a 19-year-old, aims to become the first Russian champion here since Maria Sharapova in 2014, while Chwalinska seeks to emulate Emma Raducanu's historic 2021 US Open triumph as only the second qualifier to win a major.
  • Andreeva overwhelmed Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk 6-1, 6-3 in her semi-final on Thursday, while Chwalinska defeated Diana Shnaider 7-6 , 6-4 to advance to the championship match.
  • Coach Conchita Martinez has strengthened Andreeva's emotional composure, while Chwalinska said she is deliberately keeping her routine simple, "I'm going to sleep, I'm going to drink my tea," to manage the pressure of her first Grand Slam final.
  • Victory would make Andreeva the first teenager to win a Grand Slam title since Coco Gauff's 2023 US Open triumph, while Chwalinska attempts to become only the second qualifier ever to win a major championship.
