Mirra Andreeva wins French Open title as Maja Chwalinska suffers heartbreak in final

Maja Chwalinska's dreams of French Open glory were ruthlessly ended on Saturday, with Mirra Andreeva winning 6-3, 6-2 to secure the first Grand Slam title of her career.

Chwalinska had entered the showdown having enjoyed a fairytale run to the final against all odds.

The Polish star, ranked world No 114 at the start of Roland Garros, etched her name into the history books by becoming the first qualifier to ever reach the women's singles final in Paris.

But it ultimately wasn't enough on Saturday, with Andreeva a level above as she secured the first major of her career.
