PARIS — Women’s tennis has a new Grand Slam queen, and she is going to be around for a while.

Mirra Andreeva, the 19-year-old Russian raised from her first years to fulfill her mother’s dreams of having a child who would reach the top of the sport, won the French Open Saturday with an emphatic 6-3, 6-2 win over Maja Chwalińska of Poland, a 24-year-old who was trying to become the first qualifier to win the title at Roland Garros in the Open Era.

Mirra Andreeva always had images in her head of how her first Grand Slam title would play out. That vision became reality at Roland Garros on Saturday, and it brought an 'addicting' feeling Andreeva can't wait to experience again.

PARIS — Long before she reached her first Grand Slam final, Mirra Andreeva often imagined what it would feel like to win a Grand Slam title. She wondered where it would happen, when it would happen and whether it would happen at all.

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva wins French Open and claims first grand slam title

Bent over with her hands covering her face, her knees getting dirtied on the red clay court, Mirra Andreeva was celebrating — processing might be the more appropriate word — how she had finally overcome “so many demons inside” that came with being a teenage tennis phenom.

After bursting onto the scene at 15, Andreeva became a Grand Slam champion at 19 when the Russian ended the run of 114th-ranked Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska with a 6-3, 6-2 victory in the French Open final on Saturday.
