=DAY 15 NOTES= ...one final day, and one final pair of champions crowned in Paris on Sunday. And, once again, history beckons. After Mirra Andreeva's maiden slam title, an accompanying Hordette junior champ, Sara Errani & Andrea Vavassori's successful mixed defense, Diede de Groot's record 24th wheelchair major, Luna Gryp's second straight wheelchair junior win, and Jana Kovackova's moving to within one title at SW19 from completing the first Career Girls' Doubles Slam, Katerina Siniakova ...
It was always just a matter of time. Believe it, Mirra 🧡 #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/Taqb0R1Wz9 — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2026 We'd all seen it. Mirra Andreeva's age of (eventual/incoming) unlimited potential didn't take long to identify. Just out of the juniors three seasons ago, she immediately made her presence felt, reaching a Round of 16 in Madrid in her 1000 event debut. A season later, she was playing in the Roland Garros semis at age 17. Last year, she ...

On Day 12 in Paris we learned that "destiny" beats "inevitability." Mirra Andreeva is through to her first Grand Slam final with a straight-set win over Marta Kostyuk. pic.twitter.com/Zz3rXJbTjh — Jimmie48 Photography (@JJlovesTennis) June 4, 2026 Mirra Andreeva, still only 19 years old, has been viewed as a future slam winner for a few years now. The Hordette burst out of the juniors in 2023, quickly reaching a 1000 Round of 16 (Madrid) just a few months after playing in the ...
Today's quarterfinal was supposed to be a "stepping stone" for Aryna Sabalenka, a stop on her way to returning to the final in Paris and attempting to belatedly claim the Roland Garros title she'd left dangling there a year ago. But a day that started out being about getting another chance soon turned into one about the weather (specifically, the one *true* tennis variable: the wind), then it soon became about Sabalenka herself. In the end, it was #25-seeded Diana Shnaider -- seen as just a ...
Introducing our lead character, doing lead character things. Absolute cinema. 🔥 @marta_kostyuk | #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/1UnrTnW8G4 — wta (@WTA) June 2, 2026 Awaking in Paris on Day 10 with the knowledge of the latest deadly attacks on Kyiv, Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina's historic all-Ukrainain quarterfinal match-up for a berth in the Roland Garros semis was both *more* significant, as well as less. But that's been a dilemma faced by both women since early 2022 when...
When given the opportunity, make the most of it. A STATEMENT WIN FROM ARYNA 💥 #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/1FLNyH7wYU — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 1, 2026 After no women's match had been given the nod to shine under the lights on Chatrier since the 2023 Roland Garros -- 33 consecutive night sessions had passed since Aryna Sabalenka faced off with Sloane Stephens on Night 8 three years ago, a match that stood as only the second women's match placed on the evening docke...
Marta Kostyuk's big persona has met her first truly large moment at this Roland Garros, and lives to tell the tale. In the process, the Ukranian delivered to Iga Swiatek a birthday present that the four-time champ most definitely wishes had not arrived. Wow. Marta Kostyuk wins a 16th (!) consecutive match, defeats 4-time champ Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-1 to reach the QFs at #RolandGarros . Simply incredible. Paris will crown a new champ in 2026! pic.twitter.com/r3KfvgJxwv — José Morgado (@...
Once again, it's Anastasia Potapova in the dirt. You better believe it! Anastasia Potapova stuns defending champion Coco Gauff with the upset of the day at Roland Garros. pic.twitter.com/Gk1LQe0RiO — Jimmie48 Photography (@JJlovesTennis) May 30, 2026 Potapova, 25, has been the biggest breakout star of this clay season. More than Marta Kostyuk, who has nibbled on the edges of stardrom for a while now. More than Hailey Baptiste, who shined brightly in Madrid (def. Sabalenka) but...
On Day 6, Marta Kostyuk continued to exude "lead character energy." But can she live up to her upcoming "lead character moment?" Marta Kostyuk moves on in Paris. Next up: Four-time champion Iga Swiatek. pic.twitter.com/5n4KUKxoFr — Jimmie48 Photography (@JJlovesTennis) May 29, 2026 Marta Kostyuk has been, is, and will continue to be -- no matter what happens next -- "inevitable." Whether the form that notion takes next is glory on the terre battue remains to be seen, but we ar...
Onto Round 3 for the first time at Roland-Garros! 🔜 18-year-old Iva Jovic overcomes Navarro in straight sets 👏 #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/RpcRrUkEuq — wta (@WTA) May 28, 2026 While her fellow Top 20 teens -- Andreeva and Mboko -- have found themselves more often in the spotlight and the winners of bigger titles at this point in their careers, 18-year old Iva Jovic has continued her rise up the tennis ladder. A year ago in Paris, Jovic gained her MD spot via a wild card, while ...

“You must be the best judge of your own happiness.” - Jane Austen, from Emma View this post on Instagram A post shared by emma navarro (@emma_navarro48) For Emma Navarro, this year's Roland Garros has already been more of a success than last year's version. In 2025, the then #9-seed exited Paris in the 1st Round, crashing out as the victim of Jessica Bouzas Maneiro by a stunning 6-1/6-0 score. What was unknown then was that at the time Navarro was experiencing ongoing illness a...
