Sunday, June 7Sunday, June 7Poland’s Maja Chwalinska made history on Friday by becoming the first qualifier to reach the French Open final, where she will face 19-year-old Russian sensation Mirra Andreeva in a clash of youth and perseverance. The 21-year-old Pole, ranked 102nd in the world, defeated Russia’s Diana Shnaider 6-3, 6-2 in the semifinals, capping a remarkable run from qualifying through to the championship match at Roland-Garros. Andreeva, the youngest player in the top 50, overcame Germany’s Jule Niemeier 6-3, 6-2 to set up the all-teen final .
Chwalinska’s journey has captivated tennis fans, as she became the first qualifier in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final. Her semifinal victory over Shnaider, a top-30 player, underscored her breakthrough performance . “This is a dream come true,” Chwalinska said after the match. “I never imagined I would be here, especially coming from qualifying.”
Andreeva, meanwhile, has established herself as a rising star with a semifinal run that included wins over former US Open champion Emma Raducanu and two-time major finalist Victoria Azarenka. At just 19, she is the youngest French Open finalist since Maria Sharapova in 2004. “I’m just focused on playing my game,” Andreeva said. “The final is a new challenge, but I’m ready.”
The final on Sunday will mark the first all-teen Grand Slam final since 1992, when Jennifer Capriati and Gabriela Sabatini contested the Australian Open. Chwalinska and Andreeva’s contrasting paths—one through the qualifying rounds, the other as a seeded prodigy—have added to the narrative of this year’s tournament.
Tennis legend Roberta Vinci, who reached the 2015 US Open final alongside Flavia Pennetta, hailed the semifinalists as symbols of the sport’s future. “This is just the beginning,” Vinci said. “We will see more Slam finals like this between young players” .
The final will air live on Sunday, with Chwalinska aiming to become the first Polish woman to win a Grand Slam singles title. Andreeva, if victorious, would be the youngest French Open champion since Rafael Nadal in 2005. The match promises to be a thrilling showcase of emerging talent in women’s tennis.

Doski stunner earns Iraq draw against understrength Spain in World Cup warm-up Spain will depart from Santiago de Compostela at 10am on Friday morning bound for Chattanooga, via Nashville, but seven of the eight men who made their debuts in the final preparation game before the World Cup will not be on board with them. Nor will the seleccion be flying west with a victory after they bid adios with a 1-1 draw against Iraq at Estadio Riazor. Which may not sound very good – and it really was not very good either, a 22-minute cameo from Mikel Merino about the best thing about it – but is no cause for alarm.Luis de la Fuentes side will still be among the favourites in the US, Canada and Mexico and rightly so; this was not really his side, at least not recognisably so.
