Hailing from Goiania, Brazil, Miguel showcased a high-energy performance that resonated with his enthusiastic fans, striking the ball powerfully from corner to corner. After his win, Miguel expressed his gratitude, dedicating the title to his coach Kike Granjeiro, who had recently lost his brother. "It was a big atmosphere. I will never forget this day," he told reporters.

Historically, no Brazilian had reached the boys' final at Roland-Garros since 1967. Miguel broke Antonius twice in the first set, utilizing powerful topspin shots alongside delicate drop shots to unsettle his opponent. The match featured a total of 27 winners from Miguel compared to just five from Antonius, who had upset several higher-seeded players to reach the final.

Mimicking a football atmosphere, the crowd chanted for Miguel as he executed a spectacular tweener shot mid-match. Although he faced some difficulties after taking a commanding lead, he ultimately secured the victory with his fourth service break, celebrating by falling onto the clay.

In the girls' final, Alisa Oktiabreva claimed the singles title with a decisive 6-2, 6-1 win against China's Sun Xinran. Oktiabreva, ranked No. 309 on the WTA Tour, had previously competed at the professional level and returned to junior competition following a wrist injury.

Sun made history as the first Chinese player to reach a girls' final at Roland-Garros but struggled against Oktiabreva, the only player to have defeated her in recent months. Despite losing, Sun fought hard, demonstrating impressive skills with her backhand.

In doubles competition, the girls' title was captured by unseeded Czechs Jana Kovackova and Katerina Zajickova, who overcame the No. 8-seeded American pair Jordyn Hazelitt and Welles Newman with a 6-1, 6-4 score. The boys' doubles title went to Germany's Jamie Mackenzie and Vincent Jakob Reisach, who defeated unseeded French competitors Danyl Jade and Mathys Domenc, also by 6-1, 6-4.
