1989 French Open

1989 French Open

List of the 1989 French Open Champions. For the first time in French Open history the Singles championships were won by two teenagers - Michael Chang (17 years, 3 months) and Arantxa Sánchez (17 years, 6 months). Chang still holds the record for youngest ever Grand Slam singles title winner. He gained many admirers for his audacious style of play and battling qualities (see profile). Sánchez broke the record for the youngest ever champion at Roland Garros, but that record was bettered the following year by Monica Seles (16 years, 6 months).

Sánchez's victory made her only the seventh woman to win a Grand Slam tournament in the 1980s; the others being Martina Navrátilová, Chris Evert, Tracy Austin, Evonne Goolagong, Steffi Graf and Hana Mandlíková.

Steffi Graf's loss in the women's final was her only Grand Slam defeat in two years. She won eight of the nine Grand Slam tournaments from the 1988 Australian Open - 1990 Australian Open. This prevented her from completing a second consecutive Grand Slam and was her 9th Grand Slam final on her record run of 13 finals.

One notable débutant was Monica Seles, appearing in her first Grand Slam. She reached the semi-finals without being seeded, and aged only 15. Jennifer Capriati also made her presence felt, becoming the youngest ever winner (13 years, 2 months) of the girl's singles title — this record was broken in 1993 by Martina Hingis, aged 12.
