Andreeva, Dimitrov Reach Brisbane Semifinals in Contrasting Ways

Posted : 03 January 2025

Mirra Andreeva, the 17-year-old Russian tennis sensation, advanced to the Brisbane International semifinals with a 6-4, 7-6 (7/2) victory over Tunisia's Ons Jabeur. Andreeva displayed remarkable maturity in a high-quality match, managing to break Jabeur once in the first set and overcoming two service breaks in the second to force a tiebreak.

 

She then dominated the tiebreak, securing the win in 90 minutes. Andreeva's victory sets up a semifinal clash with either world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka or Czech Marie Bouzkova, and her impressive performance highlights her promising future as a rising star in women’s tennis.

 

Meanwhile, in the men’s draw, defending champion Grigor Dimitrov reached the semifinals after Australian Jordan Thompson retired due to injury while trailing 6-1, 2-1. Dimitrov, who has previously won the Brisbane title twice, will now face Czech Jiri Lehecka in the next round. Dimitrov’s smooth progression contrasts with the challenges Andreeva faced, but both players are on the verge of claiming spots in their respective finals as the Australian Open draws near.

 

The women's semifinals will also feature a match between Russian qualifier Polina Kudermetova and Ukraine's Anhelina Kalinina. As the Australian Open approaches, these semifinal results have added excitement to the lead-up, with the tournament providing a final opportunity for players to fine-tune their form ahead of the season’s first Grand Slam, which begins on January 12.
