Mirra Andreeva Wins French Open 2025: Prize Money, Ranking Points for Champion and Runner-Up Maja Chwalinska

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva secured her maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open, defeating qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-1 in the women’s singles final at Roland Garros. The result confirmed the 19-year-old as the fourth youngest woman to win the French Open, adding her name to a short list of teenage champions at the Paris clay-court major.

Andreeva’s path to the title carries particular significance given her history at the tournament. She reached the semi-finals on her Roland Garros debut as a 17-year-old two years ago before falling short. This time, despite a nervy opening in windy conditions, she took firm control of the match to claim the championship in straight sets.

In terms of ranking points, the WTA operates on a rolling 52-week cumulative system, meaning players must defend points accrued at the same event 12 months prior. Having reached the quarter-final at last year’s French Open, Andreeva entered the tournament needing to offset 430 dropped points. Her title victory earned her 2,000 points, producing a net gain of 1,570 points when the updated rankings are published on Monday. She climbed two positions to sit sixth in the Live Rankings and now trails fifth-placed Amanda Anisimova by just 97 points.

Chwalinska’s story, however, may be the more dramatic of the two. The Polish player began the 2025 season ranked 133rd in the world, working her way up to 114th before earning a place in the French Open qualifying draw. She entered the main draw with just 51 ranking points to defend from the previous year. By reaching the final, she collected 1,300 points for her run in the main draw plus an additional 40 points earned through qualifying — a combined haul of 1,340 points. The result lifted her 93 places to 21st in the WTA rankings, one of the most dramatic single-tournament ranking surges in recent memory.

The financial rewards reflect the scale of both players’ achievements in Paris. Andreeva, who had already accumulated $2,126,599 in prize money during 2025 alone — taking her career earnings to $9,671,731 before the tournament began — received a winner’s cheque of $3,272,137 (€2,800,000/£2,416,908).

Chwalinska’s windfall is arguably more life-changing in proportion. Her total career earnings stood at just $861,237 prior to Roland Garros, with $114,498 of that coming in 2025. In a detail that underscored the financial precariousness many mid-ranking players face on tour, Chwalinska revealed during the earlier rounds that she had been unable to fund her extended hotel stay in Paris following her unexpected run through the draw, before a Polish sponsor stepped in to cover her costs. The runner-up prize of $1,636,068 (€1,400,000/£1,208,454) has now effectively doubled her career prize money total in a single fortnight.

Andreeva’s French Open triumph adds a Grand Slam title to a résumé that has been building steadily since her breakthrough at Roland Garros in 2023. At 19, she is now among a select group of active players with a major title to their name, and her proximity to the WTA top five suggests further movement up the rankings is likely as the grass-court and hard-court seasons begin.
