    Great Britain's Alfie Hewett is appearing in the final of the men's wheelchair singles right now.

    Hewett, a three-time French Open winner and the second seed at Roland Garros this year, is taking on top seed and three-time defending champion Tokito Oda of Japan.

    Oda has just broken Hewett's serve to take a 4-3 lead in the first set.

    Hewett and fellow Briton Gordon Reid won a seventh successive men's wheelchair doubles title on Friday.

  2. Chwalinska v Andreeva

    We'll have plenty of build-up between now and the start of the final, which is about half an hour away - maybe a little more once the pre-match formalities have been completed.

    But first, news of a couple of British finalists in action at Roland Garros today.

    The career trajectories of French Open finalists Maja Chwalinska and Mirra Andreeva could not be more contrasting.

    Russian eighth seed Andreeva is a teenage sensation who earned her first WTA Tour win as a 15-year-old in 2023, reaching the Wimbledon fourth round just two months later.

    Becoming a Grand Slam champion has felt like a question of when, and not if, ever since.

    Qualifier Chwalinska's path to Saturday's showpiece at Roland Garros has been less predictable.

    The 24-year-old from Poland has never received direct entry into the main draw of a major and had only come through Grand Slam qualifying in two of her previous 14 attempts.

    With little pedigree, 114th-ranked Chwalinska's breakthrough is a lesson in what can be achieved through dedication and perseverance.

    Two first-time Grand Slam finalists. Only one of them will walk away with the trophy.

    Welcome to live coverage of the 2026 French Open women's singles final between Russian eighth seed Mirra Andreeva and Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska.
