Mirra Andreeva joins historic group of Roland Garros finalists over last 30 years

Mirra Andreeva continues to show why she is one of the best players on the WTA circuit, dominating Marta Kostyuk in the semifinals of Roland Garros. With a clinical 6-1, 6-3 victory, Andreeva reached the French Open final, joining an exclusive club of finalists in Paris over the last 30 years.

At just 19 years old, Andreeva became the fifth-youngest player on the WTA circuit to reach the final at Roland Garros over the last three decades. Other legendary names on that shortlist include Martina Hingis (at 16 and 18), Kim Clijsters at 17, and Coco Gauff at 18.

Now, with a chance to win her first Grand Slam title at 19, Andreeva will face Maja Chwalinska of Poland. She has already made history by reaching the French Open final, building on her spectacular run from the previous edition of the tournament, where she reached the semifinals.

Following Andreeva’s recent revelation about why she always thanks herself after every victory, her unique post-match ritual and elite level of play have created massive anticipation for what the Russian tennis player can do in the final.
