Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva beat Clara Tauson 7-6(1) 6-1 in the Dubai Championships on Saturday to earn the biggest title of her career. The victory will earn Andreeva her debut in the top-10 of the rankings next week — the first 17-year-old to achieve that since Nicole Vaidisova in 2007.
It caps quite a week for Andreeva, who also had wins over 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, five-time Major champion Iga Swiatek and 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to become the youngest player to defeat three Major champions at a single event since Maria Sharapova at the 2004 WTA Finals.
