    That is the beauty of a Grand Slam final - anything can happen.

    This tournament and the story that has lined up over the past two weeks has been incredible to watch. The young Pole is living her dream in this incredible bubble.

    I absolutely love Maja Chwalinska's attitude.

    As Jonathan suggested earlier, the roof will be open for the start of the match and there's actually a nice bit of sunshine as the players go through their respective warm-ups.

    Welcome to Poland Garros.

    Not for the first time in recent years, tennis fans from Poland have taken over Roland Garros on women's final day.

    The thousands with Polish flags, football scarves and red-and-white flower crowns are usually here to see Iga Swiatek.

    Those who bought tickets well in advance this year would have been expecting to see the four-time champion again.

    They certainly were not expecting to see Maja Chwalinska walking out today.

    Chwalinska v Andreeva

    Mirra Andreeva and Maja Chwalinska have never met on the WTA Tour.

    Andreeva, a former world number five, boasts a 6-0 record against players ranked outside the top 100 in 2026.

    Chwalinska has never faced a player ranked inside the top 10 but has defeated four top-50 players in the past fortnight in Paris - something she had never done before.

    Great Britain's Alfie Hewett lost the first set of his men's wheelchair singles final against Japan's Tokito Oda, but he has the advantage of a break of serve in the second.

    Still all to play for.

    Mirra is ready, she's primed for it. She's played on the big stages, she's beaten top players and she's played so well in this tournament.

    The only players she lost to in her career are power players, so I think she'll be able to handle Maja.

    Both of these players play very good clay-court tennis; they can grind and they can hit power shots.

    Maja has shown us so many different shots, she just has every shot in the book and the players can't get any balls past her.

    Chwalinska v Andreeva

    Aged 19 years and 39 days, Mirra Andreeva could become the first teenager to win the Roland Garros women's singles title since Iga Swiatek in 2020.

    She would also become the youngest women's singles champion at the French Open since Monica Seles won her third straight title in 1992, aged 18.

    Andreeva is the first player born after 2005 to reach a Grand Slam singles final - men's or women's.

    Eighth seed Mirra Andreeva enjoyed a career-best clay-court swing in the build-up to the French Open - winning the title in Linz and reaching the final and semi-finals in Madrid and Stuttgart respectively.

    And she has continued that fine form in Paris, extending her clay record to 21-3 in 2026.

    The 19-year-old has knocked out three of her fellow seeds and dropped just one set en route to the final.

    In her past two matches, the eighth seed lost only seven games in wins against Sorana Cirstea and Marta Kostyuk.

    Two of her five career singles titles have come on clay, while she won the women's doubles at the Rome Masters with Diana Shnaider earlier this year.

    As it stands, the final will begin as intended - as an outdoor match.

    The roof is currently open with a bit of blue sky overhead. Not anticipating that to last, though...

    It has been remarkable the way Maja Chwalinska has walked into these new occasions like she has been there before.

    She plays unbelievably well, but with all that being said, I do think it is Mirra Andreeva's time. I think Andreeva has done all the right things.

    She has consistency within her team, and she seems to take accountability when things go sideways.

    Hearing other northern English accents at the hotel breakfast this morning was a warm and reassuring experience.

    The accent and dialect was easily identifiable - loads of Wiganers had arrived in Paris.

    Why? Because Wigan Warriors are playing Catalans Dragons in a Super League match being held over the road from Roland Garros.

    This corner of south-west Paris - an area called Boulogne-Billancourt - really is a sporting enclave.

    The centrepiece is not Roland Garros or Stade Jean Bouin, though.

    That's the Parc des Princes - home to French and European champions Paris St-Germain.

    Maja Chwalinska has been a wonderful story. It's the Cinderella story here at Roland Garros, regardless of how this match goes for her. I think she should be celebrated for her achievements.

    She's played some wonderful tennis with lots of variety and she's been so much fun to watch.

    Maja Chwalinska, 24, arrived in Paris ranked 114th in the world and came through three rounds of qualifying to make the main draw.

    She has dropped only just one set, knocked out the reigning Olympic champion and three seeded players to move just one win away from a shock Grand Slam crown.

    She is just the second qualifier to make a Grand Slam singles final in the Open era and the lowest-ranked woman to reach the French Open final since the WTA rankings began in November 1975.

    Win or lose, she will be in the top 30 when the new rankings are released on Monday - and will be 14th if she lifts the title.

    She has never previously been ranked inside the top 100.

    Less than five years ago, Maja Chwalinska was considering quitting tennis for good, taking an indefinite break from the sport after exiting Wimbledon in the first round of qualifying.

    Struggling with depression, she returned to her family home in Poland and sought help from mental health specialists. After a four-month break during which she took up running and boxing, she returned to the court.

    In the past few months, she has been travelling around Europe on the lower rungs of the WTA Tour - Antalya, Dubrovnik, Oeiras (where she won the title). Her shock run in Paris, in just her third Grand Slam main draw outing, has been "like a dream".

    This is her first Tour-level final, with a quarter-final at the 2026 Transylvania Open her previous best performance.

    In 2021, Britain's Emma Raducanu made history as the first qualifier - male or female - to win a Grand Slam singles title.

    Five years on, will Maja Chwalinska follow in her footsteps?
