Mirra Andreeva comes of age to win French Open and end Maja Chwalinska fairytale run
Mirra Andreeva overcame testing conditions and the burden of years of expectations to defeat qualifier Maja Chwalinska for her first grand slam title, becoming the youngest women’s champion at the French Open since 18-year-old Monica Seles in 1992.
19-year-old Andreeva announced her enormous potential on the clay with a storming run to the French Open semi-finals two years ago. Despite her young age she had long been tipped to convert that into titles – and two years on, the vastly experienced teenager fulfilled that potential, maintaining her focus despite a difficult, windy court and a highly partisan crowd to win Roland Garros 6-3 6-2.
The eighth seed collapsed to the clay and covered her face in disbelief as a smash, with Chwalinska rooted to the spot, sealed the first of what many believe will be several major titles. It brought an end to Chwalinska’s stunning fairytale run, as she attempted to become only the second qualifier to ever win a major, after Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021.
Andreeva paid tribute to Chwalinska in the podium ceremony, joking: “You are a very tricky opponent, I wouldn’t want to play against you another time… okay, it’s fine, I hope we play many, many more finals together in the future.
“I cannot believe I’m holding this trophy right now. Paris is going to have a very special place in my heart.”
She thanked the tournament directors, ball kids, and her team, before adding: “Last but not least, I want to thank myself for believing in myself and always giving 100 per cent, even when it is tough. I try every day to be better as a person and as a player, and fight so many demons inside of me. Only I know how tough it was for me these two weeks – so thanks to myself.”
Andreeva had said after her semi-final win over Marta Kostyuk that a change in her perspective over the course of this season has allowed her to stay calm in situations that previously would have derailed her.
While her increased maturity has been evident the question remained of how she would fare in a cauldron of support for her opposition. Her impetuousness and temper have often worked against her, while she wilted against home favourite Lois Boisson at the semi-final stage last year, unable to cope with the emotion of the situation.
And she was facing a similarly one-sided crowd on Saturday, with chants of “Maja, Maja, Maja” erupting during the warm-up, as world No 114 Chwalinska stepped up to serve, and at every changeover.
But the key to Andreeva’s run in this tournament has been her ability to adapt, whether that be to different opponents or rapidly changing conditions, and to keep calm, to the extent that she told press after the semi-final that she was so focused she could see “the little hairs on the ball”. She needed every bit of that focus on Sunday. Chwalinska was a difficult opponent, but in many ways this was Andreeva’s Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen to lose.
Against Kostyuk Andreeva had seemed scarcely bothered by the wind, although she later admitted it had made for tough conditions, changing direction and speed unpredictably. The conditions were similar on Saturday, swirling and kicking clay up into the players’ faces. But they troubled her more, while the nerves of a first slam final were compounded by being the expected champion against a free-swinging underdog with nothing to lose.
Nerves were evidently a factor for both, however; Chwalinska, choosing to serve first, opened with a double fault, and there were four consecutive breaks of serve. The Pole’s unorthodox game style posed immediate problems as she chopped and changed pace and direction, with her heavy spin and lefty forehand, and the sheer variety and inventiveness of her game, frustrating Andreeva.
Chwalinska’s love of moonballs and ability to switch with ease between baseline exchange and clever drop shot paid off as she went toe to toe with the Russian, who struggled on serve and with her choice of shot.
But Andreeva’s ability to focus despite the many distractions – particularly as the wind continued to pick up – was on show as, from 3-3 and after four straight breaks of serve before Chwalinska held for the first time, she locked down. She broke the 24-year-old’s serve again before backing up the break for the first time, digging out a drop shot that very nearly died in the service box before planting a smash into the open court.
That was the catalyst she needed; she went 0-40 up in Chwalinska’s next service game and fired a beautiful backhand cross-court winner to take the set, celebrating with a fist pump and determined smile. She looked like a slam winner-in-waiting.
Andreeva’s first serve percentage, having hovered in the low 40 per cent in the first half of the first set, improved to the high 70s, while she showed more conviction in her clean, destructive groundstrokes. Chwalinska, who was playing in her 10th match in a row after winning three in qualifying, began to look mentally drained and to leak errors.
There was more fight down the teenager’s side of the court: a sloppy service game as she led 2-0 saw her slip to 0-40 down, but she reeled off five points in a row, getting to deuce with a tidy backhand winner before Chwalinska hit long, to stave off trouble and extend her lead to 3-0.
She broke to love immediately after, with the Pole slipping glumly to the court as she watched a forehand trail long, her chances of a slam title carried away on the Parisian wind. In the ceremony, she joked: “You’re so young and talented, it’s so annoying.” To the crowd, she added: “I wish you could see a better match today but Mirra was just too good, so it’s her fault.”
Andreeva made a colossal hash of a net smash at 40-15 in her next service game, but didn’t blink, and a battering ram of a backhand down the line put her a game away from the title, 5-0 up. But as Chwalinska held for the first time in the set, the pressure was once more all on the teenager’s shoulders.
It told: a miss on a routine net volley brought up 30-30 and she swung long on a forehand to gift Chwalinska a rare break point, but although she saved the first, two clunking errors – the second another poor forehand long – handed over the break and set off another chorus of “Maja, Maja, Maja”.
But in the greatest test of her life the teenager held firm and Chwalinska buckled. Andreeva earned three match points and only needed one, shifting from baseline to net to hammer away the winner.
She dropped to the ground in joy before embracing Chwalinska and heading up to her box, celebrating with coach Conchita Martinez, who has been integral to her rise.
After two weeks of intense focus, the teenager could allow herself a beaming smile, while having worked so hard on her composure, it was telling that there were no tears and she seemed relaxed. Like this was simply inevitable, the culmination of years of work that would always end with her lifting the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen aloft.

Women’s Giro d’Italia 2026: Demi Vollering wins shortened queen stage on day eight
Demi Vollering claimed victory on a shortened queen stage of the women’s Giro d’Italia on Saturday but admitted it was the “weirdest finish line of my life”.
A summit finish in Sestriere had been scheduled for the eighth and penultimate stage, but organisers reduced the route by 28 kilometres as an unstable slab of ice was threatening to fall on to the route.
Ice had already been cleared from an avalanche shortly before the riders passed through the Italian Alps.
Instead the line was hastily moved to one kilometre below the Colle delle Finestre, where Vollering, of FDJ United–Suez, prevailed in a four-way sprint finish.
The pre-race favourite edged out Isabella Holmgren, Antonia Niedermaier and fellow Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen to claim her second stage win of this year’s race.
“It was strange because the Finestre was suddenly the final climb,” said the 29-year-old Vollering. “It was the weirdest finish line of my life, but I’m very happy to take the win.”
Team SD Worx–Protime rider Van der Breggen retains the pink jersey for the final stage, over 145km around Saluzzo at the foot of the Alps, with Vollering having cut the four-time winner’s lead slightly to 49 seconds.
“We hoped that we could get closer to the maglia rosa today,” said Vollering. “Tomorrow’s stage is not as hard as today’s, but we will make a plan and think about how to try to win the Giro.”

Devin Haney will only fight Shakur Stevenson under one condition
Bill Haney has insisted that his son, Devin, would “absolutely” fight Shakur Stevenson, but only if their terms are adhered to at the negotiating table.
The two pound-for-pound stars have been linked with a move to Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, perhaps with a view to collide under the promotional banner.
At this stage, Zuffa does not recognise the super-lightweight division, where Stevenson claimed his WBO title with a unanimous decision victory over Teofimo Lopez.
This particular triumph saw him become a four-division world champion in January but, if he signs with Zuffa, the 28-year-old may need to decide between campaigning at lightweight or welterweight.
Stevenson has previously insisted that he would only face a welterweight opponent on one of two conditions: either with a rehydration clause in the contract or at a catchweight of 144lbs.
It seems that neither option is likely to be entertained by Haney, however, as the WBO champion’s father has told Cigar Talk host Naji that he would not accept any such offers.
It doesn’t seem the Shakur Stevenson vs Devin Haney fight is happening anytime soon. In speaking to Bill Haney on stream last night it seems both sides won’t be able to agree on weight pic.twitter.com/88FNrlHMa7
— Naji (@NajiChill) June 5, 2026
While ruling out any possibility of a weight stipulation, Bill Haney did say that his son would face Stevenson at his usual fighting weight of 147lbs.
Haney became a three-division world champion last November, dethroning Brian Norman Jr with a unanimous decision victory after scoring a second-round knockdown.
Since then, there have been talks of a unification match with WBA champion Rolando Romero, which was initially rumoured to take place on May 30.
With no official dates in the diary, though, the immediate future for both Haney and Stevenson remains somewhat nebulous.

2026 WWE King and Queen of the Ring: Results, bracket and format
The King and Queen of the Ring tournament winners will be crowned at WWE Night of Champions, with the winners earning world title shots at SummerSlam
The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments have started. WWE has unveiled brackets for both tournaments, with heavy hitters such as Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, Oba Femi and Jade Cargill, last year’s women’s winner, in the mix.
Last year’s update to the format arguably made the tournaments more important than ever before. Not only are the winners crowned King and Queen of the ring, alongside some legendary names, but they also earn world title shots at WWE’s second biggest show of the year, SummerSlam. The story behind the King and Queen of the Ring stretches from June until the first weekend of August, crossing Raw, SmackDown and Night of Champions before culminating with two world titles at SummerSlam.
The quarterfinals feature fatal four-way matches. Advancing superstars must win singles matches in the second and final rounds to receive their coronation. The opening rounds feature two superstars from Raw and SmackDown in each four-way match.
The first match in the men’s and women’s tournaments took place on the first Monday Night Raw of June. Oba Femi crushed Intercontinental champion Penta, Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes to advance. Iyo Sky became the first women’s superstar to lock a semifinal spot by knocking off Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Lash Legend. That week on SmackDown, Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez advanced to face the aforementioned winners from their respective divisions.
Take a look below at the tournament schedule and results ahead of Night of Champions and SummerSlam, taking place on June 27 and Aug. 1 weekend, respectively.

Adrien Broner predicts ‘easy’ win in Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn world title fight
Adrien Broner believes one man has an “easy” route to victory if Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn lock horns later this year.
While an official announcement is yet to emerge, the pair are set to collide in Las Vegas, with WBC champion Garcia revealing September 12 as a possible date.
The 27-year-old became a world welterweight champion in February, dethroning Mario Barrios with a unanimous decision victory after flooring his man in the opening round.
Since then, much of the talk has centred around mandatory challenger Benn, who has not fought at 147lbs since his second-round finish over Chris van Heerden in 2022.
‘The Destroyer’ was then supposed to face Chris Eubank Jr later that year, only to fail two doping tests for banned substance clomifene.
As a result, that middleweight rivalry was not revisited until 2025, with Benn losing a unanimous decision in April before exacting his revenge in November.
Most recently, the 29-year-old outpointed Regis Prograis at a catchweight of 150lbs, featuring on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.
With Benn expected to challenge Garcia, though, former world champion Broner has told FightHype he suspects the Brit will be returned to the losing column.
“Ryan – easy. He’s got more talent. In that fight, the talent will show.”
Like Benn, Garcia has a controversial history with doping after testing positive for banned substance ostarine following his showdown with Devin Haney in 2024.
The American was subsequently handed a year-long ban, his majority decision victory overturned to a no-contest, before losing a unanimous decision to Rolando Romero in May 2025.
Benn has teased an announcement in the next two weeks, and if he is to get his mandatory shot at the belt, this US vs UK battle of stars could be one of the biggest of the year.

Alex Eala survives ‘great test,’ advances to Birmingham Open final

MANILA, Philippines–Alex Eala’s run continued in the Birmingham Open just past midnight on Sunday (Manila time).
This time, though, it took her a while to get the win.
After easing her way into the semifinal, Eala survived her first real test in the WTA 125 tournament, overcoming Swiss Rebeka Masarova, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, to reach her first final of the season.

Eala came into her match against Masarova having won her first three matches in sweeping fashion.
The top-seeded Eala again looked well on her way to another easy win after a dominant opening set, but Masarova regrouped and let the Filipino rising star know it’s going to be a long night.
Masarova’s fightback, coupled with several rain delays that led to a pair of suspensions lasting for hours, made it an excruciatingly long match and Eala could only breathe a big sigh of relief.
“Really happy with the win today. It was such a great experience,” she said during the post-match interview.
“It was such a tough battle today. You’ll never know what’s gonna happen. Rebeka played really well, and she put me in tough spots,” she added.

Eala was on the brink of victory, up 5-2, when the rain poured and suspended the match for a second time.
“I tried to relax. You never fully let go when it’s a rain delay,” said Eala during the extended breaks.
She stayed calm even at the resumption and with Masarova mounting one last rally after taking the eighth game of the deciding set. Down 15-30 in the ninth, Eala forced a deuce and led Masarova to commit back-to-back errors to book her spot in the title round.
It only gets harder for the 21-year-old Eala in the final against Czech Nikola Bartunkova, who also served as her doubles partner in Birmingham. They bowed out early after losing their first match last Monday. Eala is 0-13 against Czechs since turning pro in 2020.
“Reaching the final is a physical feat. I’m feeling good. I think today was a great test and I’ll be ready for tomorrow.”

‘Deserved a chance to prove’: Ashwin questions Suryakumar Yadav’s India T20 snub | Cricket News
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has questioned the selectors’ decision to drop Suryakumar Yadav from India’s T20I setup, calling it a “landmark” and “ruthless” call and suggesting that the World Cup-winning captain deserved more time to prove himself.The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced India’s T20I squads for the tours of England and Ireland, naming Shreyas Iyer as captain and Tilak Varma as vice-captain.The decision also saw Suryakumar lose both the captaincy and his place in the squad, less than three months after leading India to the 2026 T20 World Cup title.Chief selector Ajit Agarkar said the move was based on form and the team’s plans for the next T20 World Cup cycle. Ashwin, however, felt Suryakumar had earned the opportunity to make one final case for himself, especially in the upcoming England series.Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Ashwin said he was surprised by how the decision was made and believed Suryakumar’s contribution as captain should also have been taken into account.“Look, I think it’s a very interesting precedent, if I can say that. I just want to put myself in Suryakumar Yadav’s shoes and for an instance think how he would be feeling at this point of time. I’m sure every player has got the right to be gutted about being left out of the side and that’s fair if he’s feeling bad about it, but just the whole occasion, the way it’s been done, I am a little apprehensive about the whole thing.”“Because in my head I’m thinking, okay, I’m the T20 World Cup-winning captain. I’m just putting myself in Surya’s shoes and thinking about it. Sure, my batting form has let me down over the last 18 months or 15 months or whatever it is. I haven’t been in the prime form that I could have been. But then I managed to win a T20 World Cup for the country. Didn’t have the greatest World Cup as a batter, but surely, just like everyone else in the team – the coach, the vice-captain, the best-performing batter, best-performing bowler – he’s also been the best-performing skipper, right? He’s played his part.“Ashwin said he understood the selectors’ long-term approach but felt Suryakumar deserved more backing after winning a World Cup.“I saw Ajit’s press conference and I liked what he said: for the next two years is what we are planning, which is quite a good way of looking at it. But is there a possibility that they could have given Surya a bit more time? And if you feel he’s not a walk into your XI, could he have been given that big England series to ask himself to prove once again as a batter that he belongs in that place? I just think he deserved that after having accomplished such a huge feat in his career.“Ashwin added that the decision could become a reference point for future selection calls involving captains.“Has there been an instance where a captain who’s won the T20 World Cup has been left out without any ultimatum? I’m sure there’s been communication. I have no doubts with regards to that. But this is quite a landmark day in selection if you ask me, because this will be taken as some sort of precedent the next time such a thing ever comes up. And let’s not forget, T20 is a high-risk game where the batters are expected to put their wicket on the line for scoring those extra boundaries. You want them to play a brand of cricket which is high risk and hence my question is: could the captain of the defending champions have been dealt a slightly better deal than what he was dealt?”

“Only I know how tough it was for me,” Andreeva added. “How nervous I was throughout these two weeks.”

PWHL Hamilton signs Alina Muller, Nicole Gosling to three-year contracts
Hamilton continued to add foundational players Saturday in PWHL expansion with the signing of Swiss star Alina Muller and Canadian defender Nicole Gosling to three-year contracts.
Hamilton, Detroit, Las Vegas and San Jose, Calif., will join the women’s pro league next season to make for a 12-team league.
Each of the four new clubs is required to get five players on its roster by Monday afternoon, which ends the second phase of a six-phase process.
Hamilton, whose general manager, Meghan Duggan, is a former captain of the U.S. women’s team, had four players on board with the signing of Muller and Gosling.
The first two were Canadian forward Brianne Jenner and goaltender Kayle Osborne.
Each of the eight existing teams was able to protect three players, but could also lose up to three players under contract for next season by Monday.
Muller was the third overall pick by the Boston Fleet in the PWHL’s inaugural draft in 2023. The forward scored the overtime winner for Switzerland for the bronze medal in February’s Olympic Games.
The 28-year-old is tied for the most assists in PWHL history with 40 in 80 career games. Muller is coming off a season of four goals and 17 assists with the Fleet.
Gosling was a finalist for the PWHL’s rookie award with three goals, 16 assists and a plus-16 rating for the Walter Cup champion Montreal Victoire.
The 24-year-old from London, Ont., had a goal and two assists in nine playoff games. Gosling played for Canada and won gold at the 2024 women’s world championship in Utica, N.Y.
She was a first-round pick, fourth overall, by the Victoire in 2025.

Andreeva wins first Grand Slam tennis title
Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva beat Polish underdog Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 in the final of the French Open in Paris on Saturday to claim her first Grand Slam title.
Andreeva, 19, is the youngest player to win the women’s singles title at Roland Garros since the United States’ Monica Seles, who was 18 when she won a third consecutive French Open in 1992.
She is also the first Russian woman to win a Grand Slam since Maria Sharapova won the French Open in 2014 and the first teenager to take the crown since Poland’s Iga Swiatek in 2020.
Andreeva’s opponent, Chwalinska, ranked 114th in the world, was attempting to become the first qualifier to win in the French capital, but stood little chance against the world number eight.
In the men’s draw, Germany’s Alexander Zverev is also looking to win a first ever Grand Slam title when he faces Flavio Cobolli on Sunday.
