Mirra Andreeva keeps making history at the French Open. The 18-year-old star defeated No. 17 seed Daria Kasatkina with a score of 6-3, 7-5 to reach the Roland Garros quarter-finals, and in the process, matching tennis legend Martina Hingis.
Andreeva, seeded sixth, has become the youngest player to reach back-to-back Women’s Singles quarter-finals at Roland Garros since the Swiss prodigy did it in 1997 and 1998, according to Opta Ace.
Last year, the Russian star reached the semifinals, also being the youngest player to do so since Hingis in 1997, after surprising second seed Aryna Sabalenka. However, Italian Jasmine Paolini beat her 6-3, 6-1 to end her run in Paris in 2024.
So far, she hasn’t dropped a set, and has only conceded five games on route to the semis of the French Open. Andreeva is now waiting for her rival between No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula or wild card Lois Boisson.

On the other hand, Aryna Sabalenka also clinched a spot in the quarter-finals, in which she will face Zhen Qinwen, after the Chinese defeated Liudmila Samsonova in a three-set victory. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff will play either Madison Keys or Hailey Baptiste.

Then, she traveled to Dubai, in which she won her maiden WTA 1000, beating players such as Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina.
However, she didn’t stop there. Andreeva continued to show her impressive form by also winning Indian Wells, beating Sabalenka. She also became the youngest player to reach multiple and consecutive WTA 1000 semifinals.
