Mirra Andreeva is a Russian professional tennis player who has emerged as one of the most promising talents in women’s tennis. Born on April 29, 2007, in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, she turned 18 in 2025 and has already achieved remarkable success at a young age.
Standing at 1.75 meters tall and playing right-handed with a two-handed backhand, Andreeva turned professional in 2022 and has since risen to a career-high singles ranking of No. 5, reached on July 14, 2025.
Her career-high doubles ranking is No. 13, achieved on June 30, 2025. With over $6.9 million in career prize money, she is coached by former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martínez and trains at the Elite Tennis Center in Cannes, France.
Early career
Andreeva’s journey in tennis began at the age of six, inspired by her mother’s admiration for Marat Safin’s 2005 Australian Open performance, which sparked a family passion for the sport.
Growing up in the remote Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, she and her older sister Erika quickly showed promise, leading their parents to relocate to Sochi for better training facilities and later to Moscow.
As a junior, Andreeva dominated the circuit, ascending to world No. 1 on May 29, 2023. Her standout junior moment came at the 2023 Australian Open girls’ singles final, where she fell to Alina Korneeva in a grueling three-set match that lasted three hours and 18 minutes—22 minutes longer than the men’s final.
Before turning 16, she made history on the ITF World Tennis Tour by becoming the only player to win multiple titles at the W60 level or above, showcasing her versatility and maturity on the court.
These early accomplishments laid the foundation for her swift transition to the professional ranks, where she debuted on the WTA Tour main draw at the 2022 Jasmin Open as a wildcard.
Senior career
Andreeva’s senior career exploded in 2023 when, ranked No. 194 at just 15 years old, she claimed her first WTA Tour victory at the Madrid Open, becoming the third-youngest player to win a main-draw match at a WTA 1000 event.
That year, she stunned the tennis world by reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon, the youngest to do so since Coco Gauff in 2019, and on her 16th birthday, she notched her 16th professional win by defeating top-20 player Magda Linette at the same tournament.
In 2024, she marked her first Grand Slam semifinal at the French Open, upsetting world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka en route, and captured her maiden WTA singles title at the Iași Open. She also partnered with Diana Shnaider to secure a silver medal in women’s doubles at the Paris Olympics, becoming the youngest Olympic tennis medalist since Jennifer Capriati in 1992.
The 2025 season solidified her status as a top contender: she won her first WTA 1000 title at the Dubai Championships by defeating Clara Tauson in the final, followed by another at Indian Wells where she overcame Sabalenka again in a three-set thriller.
She added a WTA 1000 doubles title at the Miami Open with Shnaider and reached quarterfinals at both the French Open and Wimbledon, advancing to the third round at the US Open.
Achievements
Andreeva’s trophy cabinet is already impressive for an 18-year-old, boasting three WTA Tour singles titles, including two prestigious WTA 1000 events at the 2025 Dubai Championships and Indian Wells Open.
In doubles, she has two WTA titles, highlighted by the 2025 Miami Open win with Diana Shnaider. Her Grand Slam breakthroughs include a semifinal appearance at the 2024 French Open—the youngest there since Maria Sharapova in 2004—and quarterfinal runs at the 2025 French Open and Wimbledon, along with fourth-round finishes at the 2024 and 2025 Australian Opens.
Off the court, she earned the 2023 WTA Newcomer of the Year award and broke into the top 10 rankings in February 2025 as the youngest since Nicole Vaidišová in 2007, later entering the top 5 in July 2025.
Her Olympic silver in doubles and record as the youngest WTA 1000 champion since Serena Williams in 1999 underscore her rapid ascent, with a 10-11 record against top-10 opponents reflecting her competitive edge.
Personal life
Andreeva maintains a remarkably private personal life, focusing intently on her tennis career and family bonds amid her rising fame.
Born to parents Raisa and Alexander Andreeva—both avid sports enthusiasts who introduced her to the sport—she shares an exceptionally close relationship with her older sister, Erika Andreeva, a fellow professional tennis player born in 2004.
The sisters, who have occasionally competed against each other, reside together in Cannes, France, and often travel with their parents for tournaments, though Mirra has candidly shared the need for occasional space during these trips to unwind and discuss non-tennis topics like family gossip.
