Russian "Mira" To the list of the top 10 female tennis players in the world
Dubai, 17 November / WAM / Russian Mira Andreeva, 18 years old, finished the 2025 WTA season ranked ninth in the world, proving her position as one of the most prominent rising faces in the game.
Andreeva’s rise came after a distinguished season that began with the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships last February, where she won the women’s title to achieve her first title in the 1000-point category of the WTA Championships. Immediately after that, she entered the list of the top 10 players in the world at the age of seventeen, in an achievement that has not been achieved since the Czech Nicole Vaidisova did it in 2007.
Andreeva finished the 2024 season ranked 16th in the world, before moving up 7 places and reaching the current 9th place by the end of the 2025 season, thanks to her balanced performance and high concentration, which placed her among the fastest young female players advancing in the international rankings.
Her participation in the Dubai Championship marked the beginning of her remarkable career this year, after she defeated players ahead of her in the rankings, including world number two Iga Szwijontek in the quarter-finals, becoming the youngest player to win the women’s title in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships since its launch 25 years ago, and the youngest player to win one of the 1,000-point tournaments in the Women’s Tennis Association since its adoption in 2009.
