Quick Served: Roland Garros Day 14
Mirra Andreeva wins her first major
Context-free soundbite: “I would have gotten that [trivia question] if I weren’t hungover.”
Fresh off watching the women’s final, Andy and Producer Mike discuss Mirra Andreeva’s dominant coming-of-age performance at Roland Garros and why she feels like a future world No. 1. Also, what’s next for Maja Chwalinska and a men’s final preview.

Tokito Oda Halfway to a Grand Slam
The most dominant tennis player in the world is world No. 1 wheelchair player Tokito Oda. He’s now halfway to a Grand Slam this year.
Oda won his fourth consecutive Roland Garros title today over No. 2 Alfie Hewett 6-3, 6-3. It’s his fifth consecutive Slam, including the Australian Open this year. At 20, he would be the youngest to ever win the Grand Slam if he can defend his titles at Wimbledon and the US Open.
Oda has nine majors overall. He thinks he has a few more in him—at least 11 at Roland Garros alone.
🎤 Tokito Oda
“I want to work hard aiming to pass Nadal.”

Niels Vink Completes the Quad Quad
Niels Vink won the men’s quad wheelchair title today, making it four majors in a row for the Dutchman. Whenever a player holds four majors at once but not in the calendar year, we give it a nickname, like the Serena Slam or the Djoko Slam. We’re calling this one the Quad Quad.
Men’s Doubles Champs Repeat
Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos [1] def. Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten [2] 6-4, 6-2
The No. 1–ranked team in the world proved why by defending their Roland Garros title from 2025, the first team to repeat in six years. Dispatching the No. 2–ranked team in the world 4 and 2 is impressive in men’s doubles, given the dominance of the serve. That’s where Granollers and Zeballos took control of the match, serving 83% to their opponents’ 23%. They also hit 23 winners to only six errors.
So far, all of the No. 1 seeds in the doubles events, including mixed and wheelchair divisions, have won the title. Tomorrow, Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend will try to make it six-for-six when they take on the No. 2 seeds, Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic. Both teams are going for their first Roland Garros title together.
Perfect Delivery: Fast Forward
Mirra Andreeva proved just as smooth with the mic as she was with a racket today. Not only did she cap off her first Slam speech with a sparkling rendition of her “I’d like to thank myself” routine, but she also had the perfect touch with the driest part of the ceremony—rattling off the names of people in her box that no one recognizes.
🎤 Mirra Andreeva
“I’m not going to thank every one of you because I think that’s too much.”
Maja Chwalinska nailed her runner-up speech with grace, charm and humor. Pretty impressive for a player who has never been given the mic in front of 15,000 people before. This was Chwalinska’s first Tour-level final at any level!
🎤 Maja Chwalinska
“Congrats to Mirra. You’re such an incredible player. You’re so young and talented, it’s so annoying.”
“I wish you could see a better match today, but Mirra was just too good for me, so I guess it’s her fault. I tried my best. I’m sorry.”
Bracket Challenge Update
We have winners!
Congratulations to our overall winner, Jackthesnack21, who overtook the top spot today with Andreeva’s win, which he predicted.
Also, well done to Niamhfelicity, the winner of the WTA Bracket Challenge, who also predicted Andreeva as the women’s champion. Niamhfelicity predicted six quarterfinalists and two semifinalists, which was key to the win.
Stay tuned for the Served team’s final results. Will Techy Sean overtake Andy in the ATP Bracket if Alexander Zverev wins? Would that be the upset of the whole tournament?
