Over the last few years several surprise names have cropped up late in the French Open women’s draw. Last year it was home favourite Lois Boisson, only the third woman to make the semis of a grand slam on her main-draw debut. In 2022 it was the unseeded Martina Trevisan; in 2021, Tamara Zidansek.

All three of those pale in comparison to the fairytale story of Maja Chwalinska, the 24-year-old from Poland who dropped to the red clay in shock as she reached the Roland Garros final. Chwalinska (pronounced ‘hva-leen-ska’) has made history with an unprecedented run, winning nine matches to become the first qualifier to reach the final in Paris, and only the second to ever do it at a grand slam.

In a clash of teenage prodigies past and present it was 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva who took a step further to fulfilling her long-evident potential, as she booked a place in her first grand slam final at the expense of the in-form Marta Kostyuk, winning 6-1 6-3.

23-year-old Kostyuk had been the most dangerous player left in the draw after an unbeaten run on the red dirt this season and titles in Rouen and Madrid. But the Ukrainian wilted under bright sunshine in Paris, leaking 34 unforced errors to her opponent’s 22 and largely failing to trouble Andreeva’s composed, clinical ballstriking.

Andreeva’s increasing maturity was evident as she kept cool despite her opponent imploding and the crowd’s desperate attempts to encourage Kostyuk back into the match, a far cry from her meltdown against home favourite and underdog Lois Boisson in last year’s quarter-final.

Emma Raducanu’s status as the only qualifier ever to win a grand slam title could be erased on Saturday by remarkable Polish outsider Maja Chwalinska.

The 24-year-old’s 7-6(4) 6-4 victory over Russian Diana Shnaider on Court Philippe Chatrier was her ninth in a row at Roland Garros, and set up a final clash with eighth seed Mirra Andreeva.

The women’s French Open finals will feature the eighth seed and the world No 114, who came through qualifying on a storming run into the final.

Poland’s Maja Chwalinska has won nine matches in a row, including three in Roland-Garros qualifying, to make her maiden grand slam final - and has made history in the process.

She is the first player to go through qualifying to make the French Open final, and only the second to ever make a grand slam showpiece as a qualifier, after Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021.

She is also only the second woman to reach the semi-finals in Paris as a qualifier, after Nadia Podoroska in 2020.

Matteo Arnaldi has withdrawn before taking to the court for his French Open semi-final against compatriot Flavio Cobolli, allowing the 10th seed a walkover into the final.

The 25-year-old said he “can’t move, can’t eat and can’t drink” after coming down with illness overnight.

Unseeded Arnaldi was the lowest-ranked man to reach the last four at Roland-Garros since 1997 off the back of a stunning run, in which he spent nearly 20 hours on court over a gruelling two weeks.

Mirra Andreeva, the eighth seed, plays world No 114 Maja Chwalinska for the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen in this afternoon’s showpiece.

Sunday’s men’s final will see second seed Alexander Zverev play world no 14 and 10th seed Flavio Cobolli, after the Italian’s expected semi-final opponent, Matteo Arnaldi, withdrew with a viral illness.

The first of today’s finals is over: Briton Henry Patten and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara fell to a straight-sets defeat in the French Open men’s doubles final, although they will still be crowned joint world No 1 for the first time in Monday’s updated rankings.

The second seeds were bidding for their third major title together and to go one step closer to completing the career grand slam, after winning Wimbledon in 2024 and the Australian Open last season.

But they were distinctly second best in Saturday’s final, losing to top seeds and defending champions Marcel Granollers of Spain and Argentina’s Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-2. It made for their third grand slam title together, after the French Open and the US Open last year.
