Andreeva clinches Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship Title

Sharjah 24: Russian tennis star Mira Andreeva claimed her first Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship title by defeating Denmark’s Clara Tauson in straight sets, 7-6 (7-1), 6-1, in the final. The victory made Andreeva the youngest player in history to win a 1,000-point tournament.

Historic victory for Andreeva

At just 17 years and 299 days old, Andreeva broke the record for the youngest winner of a 1,000-point tournament. These prestigious tournaments, established in 2009, are considered the most important after the four Grand Slam events. No player under 19 had won such a title before, with American Coco Gauff previously holding the record.

Rise to the top 10

With this win, Andreeva will rise to 9th in the world rankings, becoming the first 17-year-old to break into the top 10 since Czech player Nicole Vaidisova in 2007.

Impressive career and titles

This victory marks Andreeva’s second career title, following her win at the 2024 Iasi Open in Romania. She also earned a silver medal in the Paris Olympics doubles competition with compatriot Diana Schnyder.
