Mirra and Maja set up a stunning clash

Mirra Andreeva’s dream run towards a maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open gathered momentum on Thursday while qualifier Maja Chwalinska continued her own fairytale to set up an unlikely final in Paris.

Early exits for marquee names including defending champion Coco Gauff, four-times winner Iga Swiatek and world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka opened the door for a new cast of contenders, and both Andreeva and Chwalinska seized their chances.

After 19-year-old Russian Andreeva secured a 6-1, 6-3 win over Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in a politically-charged semi-final, Chwalinska downed another Russian in Diana Shnaider 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 to continue her remarkable run.

DREAM WEAVERS

Roland Garros was already guaranteed a new women’s champion, and all eyes will be on Court Philippe Chatrier to witness which of the two contrasting journeys culminates in Grand Slam glory and who hoists the Suzanne Lenglen Cup today.
