    It is going to be very windy, so it is tricky for both players.

    I would think conditions like this would favour Maja Chwalinska.

    Andreeva is fast moving forward. I am sure [coach] Conchita Martinez would have told Andreeva to run after every single drop shot.

  2. Andreeva breaks in opening gamepublished at 14:34 BST

    Chwalinska 0-1 Andreeva*

    Two more powerful winners, one on the forehand and one on the backhand, earn Mirra Andreeva the first break of serve in the match.

    It's going to be an interesting mix of styles in this match and, in the first game at least, Andreeva's extra power won the day.

    A perfect example in the last two points that Mirra Andreeva has the overwhelming power, so if Maja Chwalinska doesn't want to stay in the rally, she will look at using some variation.

  4. Second break point savedpublished at 14:33 BST

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    The drop shot doesn't work out on this occasion for Maja Chwalinska, slicing it just wide, but a clean forehand winner takes the opening game back to deuce.

    Evidence straight away that Maja Chwalinska will be trying to mix things up with some some heavy spin.

    Mirra Andreeva goes for the power play, a forehand winner down the line bringing up break point.

    But Chwalinska saves it with a brilliant volley at the net that drops stone dead inside the service box.

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Maja Chwalinska begins her first Grand Slam final with a double fault, but will be much happier after controlling the next point and stroking away a forehand winner.

    At 30-15 up, Chwalinska slices an excellent backhand drop shot but Mirra Andreeva chases it down and knocks away a winner for 30-30.

  7. We're under way!published at 14:26 BST

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Maja Chwalinska, the Polish qualifier, will serve first against Russian eighth seed Mirra Andreeva.

    It's the best of three sets for the French Open title.

    That is the beauty of a Grand Slam final - anything can happen.

    This tournament and the story that has lined up over the past two weeks has been incredible to watch. The young Pole is living her dream in this incredible bubble.

    I absolutely love Maja Chwalinska's attitude.

    As Jonathan suggested earlier, the roof will be open for the start of the match and there's actually a nice bit of sunshine as the players go through their respective warm-ups.

    Welcome to Poland Garros.

    Not for the first time in recent years, tennis fans from Poland have taken over Roland Garros on women's final day.

    The thousands with Polish flags, football scarves and red-and-white flower crowns are usually here to see Iga Swiatek.

    Those who bought tickets well in advance this year would have been expecting to see the four-time champion again.

    They certainly were not expecting to see Maja Chwalinska walking out today.

    Chwalinska v Andreeva

    Mirra Andreeva and Maja Chwalinska have never met on the WTA Tour.

    Andreeva, a former world number five, boasts a 6-0 record against players ranked outside the top 100 in 2026.

    Chwalinska has never faced a player ranked inside the top 10 but has defeated four top-50 players in the past fortnight in Paris - something she had never done before.

    Great Britain's Alfie Hewett lost the first set of his men's wheelchair singles final against Japan's Tokito Oda, but he has the advantage of a break of serve in the second.

    Still all to play for.

    Mirra is ready, she's primed for it. She's played on the big stages, she's beaten top players and she's played so well in this tournament.

    The only players she lost to in her career are power players, so I think she'll be able to handle Maja.

    Both of these players play very good clay-court tennis; they can grind and they can hit power shots.

    Maja has shown us so many different shots, she just has every shot in the book and the players can't get any balls past her.

    Chwalinska v Andreeva

    Aged 19 years and 39 days, Mirra Andreeva could become the first teenager to win the Roland Garros women's singles title since Iga Swiatek in 2020.

    She would also become the youngest women's singles champion at the French Open since Monica Seles won her third straight title in 1992, aged 18.

    Andreeva is the first player born after 2005 to reach a Grand Slam singles final - men's or women's.

    Eighth seed Mirra Andreeva enjoyed a career-best clay-court swing in the build-up to the French Open - winning the title in Linz and reaching the final and semi-finals in Madrid and Stuttgart respectively.

    And she has continued that fine form in Paris, extending her clay record to 21-3 in 2026.

    The 19-year-old has knocked out three of her fellow seeds and dropped just one set en route to the final.

    In her past two matches, the eighth seed lost only seven games in wins against Sorana Cirstea and Marta Kostyuk.

    Two of her five career singles titles have come on clay, while she won the women's doubles at the Rome Masters with Diana Shnaider earlier this year.

    As it stands, the final will begin as intended - as an outdoor match.

    The roof is currently open with a bit of blue sky overhead. Not anticipating that to last, though...

    It has been remarkable the way Maja Chwalinska has walked into these new occasions like she has been there before.

    She plays unbelievably well, but with all that being said, I do think it is Mirra Andreeva's time. I think Andreeva has done all the right things.

    She has consistency within her team, and she seems to take accountability when things go sideways.
