What we know

Mirra Andreeva won her first Grand Slam title on Saturday, beating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 in the French Open women's final on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The 19-year-old eighth seed became the youngest woman to win Roland-Garros since Monica Seles in 1992, finishing in 1 hour 22 minutes.

Chwalinska, ranked No. 114 entering Paris, was denied a fairytale run as the second qualifier to reach a Slam singles final in the Open era after Emma Raducanu. Men's finalist Alexander Zverev faces Flavio Cobolli on Sunday — outside Saturday's Top window.
