Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva celebrated her French Open win with a furry companion on Saturday, 6 June, lifting and cuddling the dog before posing with the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy following her victory at Roland Garros.
Andreeva swept aside surprise finalist Maja Chwalinska 6-3 6-2 on a blustery Court Philippe Chatrier, where the Pole seemed frozen by the magnitude of the occasion.
The 19-year-old Russian, the youngest Roland Garros women’s singles winner since Monica Seles won her third straight title in 1992 aged 18, overcame a jittery start to claim her maiden Grand Slam crown, growing in authority as the match wore on while Chwalinska struggled to settle on the big stage.
