French Open 2026 Women's Bracket, Prize Money and Final Predictions at Roland-Garros
Just as we expected, a Polish woman will be playing in the 2026 French Open final.
But it's not Iga Swiatek.
Instead, it's 24-year-old Maja Chwalinska, who is just the second women's qualifier in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final.
While the world No. 114 is looking to etch her name into history, 19-year-old wunderkind Mirra Andreeva is hoping to seize the moment.
So, how will this all unfold?
From prize money to ultimate predictions, we've got you covered with everything below.

Maja Chwalinska vs. Mirra Andreeva
2 of 2
Maja Chwalinska entered the 2026 French Open with one career Grand Slam main-draw win.
She had only played in two prior Grand Slam main draws.
But you wouldn't know any of that if you watched her play.
The 24-year-old, ranked No. 114 in the world, is the second women's qualifier in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final.
However, her unlikely arrival to the final doesn't actually seem like a Cinderella run.
She's lost just one set the entire tournament, overwhelming her opponents with her relentless defense and timely shot-making.
Despite Chwalinska's impressive play, she is about to face her toughest test yet.
19-year-old wunderkind Mirra Andreeva enters in impeccable form after defeating dominant No. 15 Marta Kostyuk in straight sets.
Andreeva is looking to become the youngest French Open women's champion in the past 30 years and will likely enter as the overwhelming favorite.
Yet, winning the title is an extremely difficult challenge for the No. 8 seed.
Chwalinska is not an opponent who is overwhelmed by baseline aggression or court re-direction.
Even then, Andreeva's game is diverse enough for her to overcome this challenge.
Prediction: Mirra Andreeva over Maja Chwalinska in three sets
