Claim 6: “A five-time WTA champion, Andreeva’s previous best finish at Grand Slams was at the 2024 French Open when she reached the semifinals.”
MISLEADING
The claim states she is a five-time champion and her best finish was the 2024 semifinals. However, Wikipedia and web search results for the 2026 French Open state she won the 2026 title (making her a six-time champion) and that this was her first major title, contradicting the 'previous best' context if the claim is being made after June 2026.
