At 19yo Mirra Andreeva is the new RG Ladies Singles Champion the youngest champion since Monica Seles in 1992
Well done Mirra !
Bad luck to Maja Q, who played well and was a fairy tale tournament, making the final, you just came up against Mirra who was just On Her Game today
Andreeva d Chwalinska 63 62
BTW
Maja will rise to world no 21, she came into this tournament at 114#
I might be jumping in early I am already making my selections for the grass and Wimbledon
Mirra is a player that can win on the grass, and lets not forget her coach Martinez knows how to win on grass and also coached Murgurza to win Wimbledon in 2017
Trophy presentation just started with Mary Pierce handing out the trophies to both players
A lovely speech from Maja, saying that Roland Garros will always stay in her heart, well Maja you showed great heart for 3 weeks at Roland Garros!
A lovely speech also from Mirra, thanking her team, and last but not least she thanks herself and believing in herself as a player and as a person, working hard the last 2 weeks
Anyway I am going to bed for once I will get a good night's sleep as it is 1.30am here in the morning
I have been really impressed with Mirra's "new found focus' at week at RG, a new great maturity for Mirra, her first GS title is just the first for Mirra a child prodigy who of late has really shown her potential

A bit anticlimatic end to RG on women's side. Plenty of good matches in earlier rounds and I kind of lost interest by the time SF and F arrived. I haven't watched any of those 3 matches. Looks like similar pattern on the men's side.
Surprise here and there is good, but I prefer to watch top players in the end. I don't think people were lining up to watch this and certainly not many people will be too interested in Zverev Cobolli.
