Mirra Andreeva opens up about her mental health struggles in emotional speech after French Open victory

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva won her first Roland Garros title after beating Poland’s Maja ChwaliƄska in straight sets in the final at Roland Garros.

The 19-year-old produced a calm and dominant performance, winning 6-3, 6-2 to lift the trophy on the Philippe-Chatrier court on Saturday June 6, 2026.

The Russian teenage sensation controlled the match from the start, using her strong baseline game and constant returns to put pressure on her opponent throughout the final.

The victory marks the biggest moment of her career so far and confirms her rise as one of the most promising young players in women’s tennis.

Chwalinska, who made it through qualifying to reach the final, struggled to match Andreeva’s pace and consistency, but still had a remarkable run in Paris.

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Chwalinska told Andreeva: “You are so young and talented. It’s so boring.”

Andreeva has been considered a rising star over the past two seasons, but this Grand Slam victory now places her among the biggest names in the sport at just 19 years old.

She also opened up about her mental health struggles and thanked herself for fighting “so many demons inside of me.”

The young tennis star said: “Only I know how hard it was for me. How nervous I was during those two weeks.”

Andreeva also expressed her gratitude to her fans for their continued support.
