French Open women’s final
A first-time grand slam champion will be crowned at the end of an unpredictable and surprising French Open, with the women’s final taking place on Saturday 6 June.
Eighth seed Mirra Andreeva is the hot favourite against world No 114 Maja Chwalinska, who has won nine matches in a row and made history as the first qualifier to reach a Roland-Garros final.
The Pole beat Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng and seeded players Elise Mertens, Anna Kalinskaya and Diana Shnaider, as well as former world No 3 Maria Sakkari, on her way to Saturday’s showpiece.
19-year-old Andreeva meanwhile saw off 27th seed Marie Bouzkova and 18th seed Sorana Cirstea, as well as in-form 15th seed Marta Kostyuk, to reach her first ever slam final.
