Andreeva Becomes Youngest WTA 1000 Champion with Dubai Triumph

Posted : 24 February 2025

Mirra Andreeva etched her name in tennis history by becoming the youngest player ever to secure a WTA 1000 title, claiming victory at the Dubai Tennis Championships. The 17-year-old Russian defeated Denmark’s Clara Tauson 7-6 (7-1), 6-1 to cap off a remarkable tournament run.

 

With this triumph, Andreeva is set to break into the top 10 of the WTA rankings for the first time in her career, an achievement she had initially set as a goal for the end of the year. Overjoyed by her rapid progress, she described the milestone as "something incredible."

 

Her path to the final was anything but easy, as she overcame three Grand Slam champions—Marketa Vondrousova, Iga Swiatek, and Elena Rybakina—displaying both resilience and maturity beyond her years.

 

Despite a shaky start in the final, where Tauson took a 2-0 lead, Andreeva quickly regained composure to break back and level the contest. The opening set remained tightly contested until the tiebreak, where the young Russian dominated, winning the first six points before Tauson sent a return long to concede the set.

 

The second set was a completely different story, as Andreeva took full control, racing into a commanding 5-1 lead. Tauson, ranked 38th in the world, struggled to keep up with Andreeva’s aggressive play and eventually sent another return long to hand her opponent the title. Reflecting on the moment, Andreeva admitted to feeling nervous but was proud of how she handled the pressure, particularly overcoming errors and double faults to secure the win in emphatic fashion.

 

For Andreeva, this victory marks the realization of a lifelong dream, leaving her nearly speechless as she celebrated her historic achievement. The teenager now sets her sights on building upon this success, knowing she has already surpassed her expectations for the season. With her newfound confidence and momentum, she is poised to be a major force on the WTA Tour moving forward.
