Youngest Roland Garros Winners in the Open Era (Men and Women)
The Roland Garros tournament, one of tennis’s most prestigious Grand Slam events, has witnessed many extraordinary champions over the years. Among these victors, some have made history not just by their performance but by their age, triumphing on the clay courts of Paris at a remarkably young age. Here, we highlight the youngest winners in the Open Era for both men and women.
Women’s Youngest Winner: Monica Seles
Monica Seles, a tennis prodigy from Yugoslavia, became the youngest female champion in the Open Era when she won the French Open in 1990 at the age of 16 years and 6 months. Seles's incredible power and fierce competitiveness were on full display as she defeated the then-world number one, Steffi Graf, in a thrilling final. Seles’s victory at such a young age signaled the start of a dominant period in women's tennis, as she went on to win eight Grand Slam titles by the age of 20.
Men’s Youngest Winner: Michael Chang
Michael Chang made history at the 1989 French Open by becoming the youngest male winner of the tournament at just 17 years and 3 months old. His remarkable victory not only marked a personal milestone but also became one of the most memorable moments in tennis history. In the final, Chang faced Sweden's Stefan Edberg, a formidable opponent and two-time Grand Slam champion. Despite losing the first set, Chang's relentless determination and resilience saw him come back to win the match 6-1, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. His victory made him the youngest male player ever to win a Grand Slam singles title, a record that still stands today.
