<\/a>Mirra Andreeva: Teenage prodigy arrives into French Open final <\/p>\n

Mirra Andreeva first really announced herself to the tennis world when she reached the French Open semi-finals at the age of 17. <\/p>\n

Two years later, she is the youngest grand slam finalist since Coco Gauff at the French Open in 2022, and the fifth-youngest Roland Garros finalist in the last 30 years. <\/p>\n

If she beats either Diana Shnaider or qualifier Maja Chwalinska on Saturday, Andreeva will the third-youngest grand slam winner this century, behind Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004 and Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Mirra Andreeva: ‘I am nervous for the final, but also very exited’ <\/p>\n

Mirra Andreeva has never played in a grand slam final before. But her coach, Conchita Martinez, is a former Wimbledon champion. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think I am going to ask any questions!\u201d Andreeva says. \u201cIt was working pretty well what we did before. We have to keep it the same and not change anything.\u201d Martinez nods. <\/p>\n

“We are going to prepare our best for the final. The final is going to be very entertaining and very tough. I am nervous, but at the same time I am very, very excited.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mirra Andreeva: ‘I’ve never felt anything like this before’<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still very nervous. I was nervous coming into this match. She\u2019d had an amazing season, had not lost a match on clay this season. That brought pressure and she\u2019s an amazing player, tough opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy with how I played today. Then I\u2019m happy with how I got revenge for the Madrid final. I\u2019m happy I\u2019m in my first grand slam final as well. All of these feelings combined, it\u2019s amazing. I\u2019ve never felt anything like this before and I\u2019m very excited for my last match in Paris.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/a>Marta Kostyuk’s run at French Open ends in semi-finals<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a smile on Marta Kostyuk\u2019s face as she waves goodbye to Court Philippe-Chatrier. Her first defeat of the clay-court season, after 16 wins in a row, comes in the semi-finals and with the final just one match away. <\/p>\n

She was outplayed by Mirra Andreeva, but what an excellent run it\u2019s been, with wins over Iga Swiatek and her idol Elina Svitolina. Exhausting, too, for the Ukrainian, as she fights for her war-torn country. It\u2019s been a demanding two weeks on and off the court. <\/p>\n

<\/a>GAME, SET AND MATCH! Mirra Andreeva 6-3 6-1 Marta Kostyuk <\/p>\n

Hats off to Mirra Andreeva. That was an assured, professional performance. You have to remind yourself she\u2019s only 19. A first grand slam final awaits on Sunday, two years after her big breakthrough as a 17-year-old in Madrid. <\/p>\n

She raises her hands, pumps her fist and roars on match point. There\u2019s no handshake between the players, but we expected that due to the Russia-Ukraine war. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Marta Kostyuk 1-6 3-6 Mirra Andreeva<\/p>\n

Another grimace from Kostyuk after the opening point. She had the chance to go for down the line winner, but misses. Andreeva moves two points from the final. <\/p>\n

Steely from Andreeva. She finds the outside of the line with a forehand crosscourt, bringing up match point! <\/p>\n

Andreeva catches the baseline and Kostyuk goes long! Andreeva is into her first grand slam final! <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! Marta Kostyuk 1-6 3-5 Mirra Andreeva*<\/p>\n

With the roof closed, the look of the match, as well as the feel, is very different: the spotlights are now shining down on the players. <\/p>\n

But Kostyuk has to keep this run going. Andreeva senses a chance, immediately, as she drags Kostyuk into a couple of long points. <\/p>\n

And Kostyuk blinks first, sending the forehand out and grimacing. <\/p>\n

Andreeva takes full advantage. She steps in, drawing the short forehand, and slamming the overhead. <\/p>\n

5-3 and she\u2019ll serve for the final. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Marta Kostyuk 1-6 3-4 Mirra Andreeva<\/p>\n

Has the roof closing renewed Kostyuk\u2019s belief? She wins the point of the match, a 26-shot rally that switched from power to slice and forced Kostyuk to dig into her toolkit and find a spinning drop shot out wide. <\/p>\n

And suddenly it\u2019s 0-40! A double fault from Andreeva, quite of of nowhere. And Kostyuk clenches her fist as Andreeva shoots long! The crowd responds! <\/p>\n

<\/a>Marta Kostyuk 1-6 2-4 Mirra Andreeva*<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the clench of the fist from Kostyuk! She holds serve, so Andreeva requires another two games to get over the line. The roof is now fully closed. Goodbye wind. <\/p>\n

Jamie Braidwood4 June 2026 15:15<\/p>\n

<\/a>*Marta Kostyuk 1-6 1-4 Mirra Andreeva<\/p>\n

The roof over Chatrier is closing mid-game, due to the imminent arrival of rain over western Paris. <\/p>\n

Kostyuk faces another hole as a wild forehand shoots long. She gestures, but brings in the frustration with the forehand winner. <\/p>\n

30-30… but Kostyuk nets! Andreeva has been so clean and consistent and steady, and the pressure on Kostyuk from the start has been notable. <\/p>\n

But she digs in to save break point. <\/p>\n
