Mirra Andreeva achieved a straight-sets victory over Hailey Baptiste, securing her spot in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. At only 18 years old, she has now reached the last 16 in all three major tournaments this season, a feat last accomplished by Nicole Vaidisova in 2006. Baptiste, who reached the third round in consecutive majors for the first time, aimed to become the second unseeded American woman to reach this stage at Wimbledon in a decade. The match was played under a closed roof due to rain disruptions, and Andreeva will face the winner of Krejcikova and Navarro next.
Mirra Andreeva, aged 18, has reached the Round of 16 in three consecutive major tournaments, becoming the youngest woman to achieve this since Nicole Vaidisova in 2006.
Hailey Baptiste, despite her early exit against Andreeva, made the third round in back-to-back majors, a notable achievement given she had never advanced past the second round before.
The match was played on Court One with the roof closed due to rain, which had suspended play on the outside courts for over an hour.
Andreeva, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2023, previously had her best major performance in the 2022 French Open semifinals.
