- Mirra Andreeva , 19, secured her maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open , defeating Maja Chwalinska 6-3 6-2.
- Andreeva's victory makes her the youngest women's champion in Paris since Monica Seles in 1992 and the first Russian to win a major singles trophy since the invasion of Ukraine.
- Maja Chwalinska, a 24-year-old Pole, had a remarkable "Cinderella story" run, progressing from qualifying to the final with nine consecutive wins.
- Chwalinska, ranked 114th in the world, became the lowest-ranked finalist since 1975 and is set to climb to world number 21, making her a strong candidate for a Wimbledon wild card.
- Despite Chwalinska's unorthodox playing style, Andreeva's superior tactical game and variety ultimately proved too strong, securing the title in straight sets.
