Andreeva and Chwalinska set unlikely French Open final

Mirra Andreeva will face Maja Chwalinska in Saturday's French Open women's final after the pair produced contrasting demolitions in the semifinals. The Russian teenager dismantled Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine 6–1, 6–3 in a dominant performance amid the tense backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, reaching her first Grand Slam final with composure beyond her years. Chwalinska, a qualifier, became the first qualifier ever to reach a Roland Garros final by defeating No. 25 seed Diana Shnaider 7–6 (4), 6–4 in an upset that caps what she describes as coming through the darkest period of her life. The semifinal stage also saw drama off court: Roland Garros drew criticism for closing the roof mid-match during Andreeva's win, with the roof lowering when she held a set and break advantage, while Aryna Sabalenka's shock third-set collapse to Shnaider prompted further debate over the tournament's roof policy. On the doubles side, Henry Patten of Britain and Harri Heliovaara of Finland booked their place in Saturday's men's doubles final, while Alfie Hewett advanced to the French Open wheelchair men's semifinal. The women's final between Andreeva and Chwalinska—one of the most unlikely matchups in recent Grand Slam history—takes centre stage on Saturday, with the ATP men's draw set to begin the same day.
