PARIS (AP) --- Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva was already a tennis phenom at
age 15.
At 19, she's the French Open champion.
The eighth-ranked Andreeva ended the run of 114th-ranked Polish qualifier Maja
Chwalinska with a 6-3, 6-2 victory in the Roland Garros final on Saturday.
Andreeva became the youngest player to win the women's singles title since
Monica Seles, who was 18 when she landed her third straight French Open in 1992.
Chwalinska was attempting to become the first qualifier to capture the Roland
Garros title.
Alexander Zverev plays Flavio Cobolli in the men's final on Sunday to conclude
the wildest Grand Slam in recent memory.
