Mirra Andreeva claimed her first French Open title after showing major progress in her serve and composure under pressure. The 19-year-old Russian dropped just one set throughout the tournament. Former player Andy Roddick highlighted the changes that fueled her success.
Andreeva defeated Maja Chwalinska in the final. She maintained control after the Pole took an early lead in the opening set.
Roddick discussed the improvements on his podcast Served with Andy Roddick. He noted that Andreeva's serve had been a liability two years earlier but became reliable during her Middle East swing, including her Dubai title run.
The player also showed better mental stability. Working with coach Conchita Martinez helped her stay composed against Marta Kostyuk in the semifinal despite a brief comeback attempt by the opponent.
Andreeva had previously struggled with crowd noise and emotions in matches such as her 2025 quarterfinal loss at the same event. Her performance in Paris demonstrated consistent serve placement and balanced shot selection.
