Then it's all about the women's final: 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva, the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Coco Gauff in 2022, against qualifier Maja Chwalinska — ranked 114th, never faced a Top 10 player, and only the second qualifier in Open Era history to reach a Grand Slam final, joining Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open.
