Preview

The Cinderella story has shown little sign of hitting Midnight as far as Maja Chwalinska is concerned and winning the French Open title may be one of the biggest recent upsets in the sport.

A straight sets win over Diana Shnaider has kept this story going into the final day of the Women's tournament when the Polish player competes in the Final of the second Grand Slam of the season.

Maja Chwalinska entered the French Open through the Qualifiers and has won nine straight matches to earn a spot in the Final here in Roland Garros, while she was Ranked outside the top 100. At the end of this tournament, she is going to be just outside the top 20 if Chwalinska is unable to win the title, but she will be inside those positions with a Grand Slam title next to her name if one more upset can be completed.

The run has been so 'out of left field' that Maja Chwalinska would have to compete in the Wimbledon Qualifiers if she is not awarded a Wild Card, but would be a Seeded player at the third Grand Slam of the season if the organisers do indeed give this player a chance to enter the main draw immediately.

The French Open has been a tournament filled with upsets and one more cannot be ruled out with Maja Chwalinska playing with as much confidence as she is.

However, Mirra Andreeva has long been tipped as a future Grand Slam Champion and the teenager will go into this match as the right favourite after crushing Marta Kostyuk in the Semi Final.

Throughout this tournament, Mirra Andreeva has been playing at a consistently higher level than Maja Chwalinska, but this is a first time experience for the former and nerves have to be expected. There is also the extra pressure of being such a strong favourite, which was not the case in the Semi Final, but this is a Final that looks like it could be played under a roof and that should give the Mirra Andreeva serve an extra shot in the arm.

Maja Chwalinska has served well in the tournament and being a lefty means it could take a bit of adjustment from the higher Ranked player.

Every test has been passed by Chwalinska and there may be a feeling of destiny about this run much as there was when Emma Raducanu did something similar at the US Open in 2021. Maja Chwalinska has done something different in being able to rally from a set behind during one of her wins at the French Open and that should mean she is competitive throughout, but Mirra Andreeva has been returning with real authority over the last week as the conditions have changed in Paris.

As stated, this has been a tournament of upsets, but Mirra Andreeva is 52-6 on the clay courts when facing someone who is Ranked lower than herself and that is a 20-1 record in 2026 alone.

In the last nine matches where Mirra Andreeva has been the higher Ranked player on the clay courts, she has covered this handicap mark every time and the top ten player should have all of the qualities to eventually help strike Midnight on the Maja Chwalinska run.

Prediction

You hate to get in front of an underdog like Maja Chwalinska, especially in a tournament of upsets like the French Open.

However, Mirra Andreeva has been dominant when facing those players she would be expected to beat and that can be the case, eventually, in this Women's Final at the French Open.

The Pick :

Maja Chwalinska 0-2 Mirra Andreeva
