At the age of 16, Mirra Andreeva has her goals set. She wants to play until she wins at least 25 Majors.
Russia’s Andreeva is the latest teenage star in women’s tennis. She is the youngest player to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon since Coco Gauff, then 15, made the round of 16 at SW19 four years ago. Like the American, Andreeva too began her campaign from the qualifying round. But this is not where Andreeva’s story has begun.
Andreeva, who was born in the Russian town of Krasnoyarsk but stays in France’s Cannes, made her Tour-level debut at the WTA250 event in Monastir, Tunisia, last year as a wildcard where she lost 3-6, 7-6(4), 3-6 to compatriot Anastasia Potapova in the opening round.
