Mirra Andreeva and Alex Eala Among 9 Youngest Women in French Open Women’s Draw

The kids are more than alright—they’re taking over Roland Garros. Among the wave of fresh faces storming the clay this year, Mirra Andreeva and Alex Eala stand out not just for their age, but for the serious buzz they’re generating on tour. At just 17 and 19 years old respectively, these rising stars are part of an exclusive group: the nine youngest women in the 2025 French Open main draw.

Andreeva, the Russian teen sensation who’s already made headlines with her fearless baseline game and precocious poise, isn’t just showing up for experience—she’s showing up to win. With a few WTA scalps already in her belt and a ranking climbing faster than her TikTok following, Mirra has quickly gone from wildcard curiosity to serious threat. She’s got that dangerous blend of youthful fearlessness and game-mature confidence.

On the other side, we have Alex Eala—the pride of the Philippines. Eala may be the quieter presence, but she’s no less lethal. After a standout junior career and gradual, steady progress on the pro circuit, Eala has now entered her first French Open main draw with a game tailored for clay: heavy topspin, tactical patience, and undeniable grit. Her presence marks a milestone for Southeast Asian tennis and puts her firmly on the global map.

Together, Andreeva and Eala represent more than youth—they represent the sport’s next wave. They’re part of a fearless generation not content to wait their turn, but ready to crash the party now.

The veterans may still rule the rankings, but the French Open’s youngest entrants are here to shake things up. Don’t be surprised if a few of them—including Andreeva and Eala—end up in the second week. The clay is red, but the future is blazing bright.
