'I want to thank myself' - Andreeva's journey to Grand Slam glory

That was the phrase emblazoned on Mirra Andreeva's jacket as she lifted her first Grand Slam trophy at the French Open.

After a dominant 6-3 6-2 victory over Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska that made the 19-year-old the youngest woman to win the Roland Garros singles title since Monica Seles in 1992, Andreeva rattled off a lengthy list of thank yous.

She started by showing her gratitude to Chwalinska, before moving onto tournament organisers and her team - including her coach, former French Open finalist Conchita Martinez.

But Andreeva reserved the final - and most important - thanks for herself.

"I also want to thank myself for believing in myself," she said.

"For giving 100% even when it's been tough, trying every day to be better as a person and a player, believing I can do this, fighting so many demons inside of me.

"Only I know how tough it was for me and how nervous I was these past two weeks, so thanks to me for working so hard and giving my best."

Andreeva has thanked herself after many of her title triumphs - a twist on a quote she "stole" from rapper Snoop Dogg.
