'I guess I have to think of some new goals now': Inside Mirra Andreeva's meteoric rise in 2025
Briefly

Mirra Andreeva, a 17-year-old tennis sensation, has captured significant attention in the WTA circuit after winning her first 1000-level title in Dubai, making her the youngest to achieve this milestone. Her fellow players, including three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur, have repeatedly highlighted her potential. Just weeks after her victory, Andreeva showcased her remarkable talent by reaching the quarterfinals at the BNP Paribas Open, defeating former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Andreeva expressed surprise at her rapid success, having initially set a goal to enter the top 10 by the year's end.
This is exactly where I wanted to be but I didn't think that it would happen this quickly. Last year I played here and I lost in the first round.
When I realized I won [in Dubai], I was like, 'Hell yeah.' I didn't think I would reach the top 10 until October.
