Mirra Andreeva and Maja Chwalińska will contest the French Open women’s singles final after both reached their first Grand Slam championship match. The No. 8 seed Andreeva ended Marta Kostyuk’s 17-match win streak, while the Polish qualifier stunned Diana Shna
By the time the court roof moved, it was clear the women’s singles final at the French Open was already taking shape around two young players who don’t look like they’ve been here before.
Saturday, June 6 will bring the matchup: No. 8 seed Mirra Andreeva against Maja Chwalińska. First-time Grand Slam finalists on a stage that usually belongs to veterans. both are guaranteed a first-time champion at Roland Garros this year—an outcome that feels unusually clean for a tournament that rarely lets a story develop without interruption.
Andreeva arrives in the final after a dominant semifinal that began like a statement and ended like a lock. She raced through the first set 6-1 against No. 15 seed Marta Kostyuk. The match briefly swung when the roof was retracted to shield the court from incoming rain. creating a pause that shifted momentum toward Kostyuk in the second set. Even then. it didn’t change the final result: Andreeva closed it out in straight sets. ending Kostyuk’s 17-match win streak.
At 19 years old, Andreeva also becomes the youngest finalist at Roland Garros since Coco Gauff in 2022. It’s the kind of record that lands quietly until you realize it’s about to be contested again in Paris—this time, by a player who’s also opening her Grand Slam final journey.
Chwalińska’s path to the championship match carried a different kind of momentum: the kind that builds like a fairy tale and then refuses to stop. She earned the final spot by stunning No. 25 seed Diana Shnaider in straight sets, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4. It was her first-ever Grand Slam final. and her run has continued to defy the idea that Roland Garros only rewards the most obvious favorites.
The same day the final is staged, tournament coverage will be easy to follow. Saturday’s match—Andreeva vs. Chwalińska, 9 a.m. ET—will air on TNT and truTV. For viewers who want to watch online, every match will also be available in full via Sling or on HBO Max.
There’s another storyline running in the background for sports fans, even as the women’s final takes center court. Serena Williams returns to tennis after four years away, making her comeback for doubles in the HSBC Championship. Her timeline from going pro to this return is already being watched closely. but at Roland Garros. the spotlight is now fixed on two players meeting in their first Grand Slam final appearance.
Taken together, the semifinals set the tone for what comes next. Andreeva broke through with control and then held firm through a rain-related interruption. while Chwalińska did it by turning pressure into precision against a seeded opponent. One finalist carries a shut-down semifinal performance; the other arrives from a straight-sets upset that secured a first championship match at a major.
As the clock runs toward Saturday, June 6, the outcome is certain in one way: Roland Garros will crown a first-time champion this year.

Wait so it’s only two young players now? I thought French Open was always like, older ladies lol.
Andreeva beat Kostyuk like 6-1?? That’s actually wild, but the roof retracted part matters too right? Like weather affects momentum or whatever.
I’m confused though—are these the same players from earlier rounds? Also how can someone be “No. 8 seed” and still a qualifier? Seems contradictory but maybe tennis logic is different.
So they’re guaranteeing a first-time champion at Roland Garros this year… is that like because they’re both rookies or because somebody got injured? I didn’t read the whole thing but the streak ending part is crazy, 17 matches is a lot. French Open always has weird pauses with the roof too, like they’re trying to manufacture a thriller.
