Early life and background

Mirra Andreeva was born on 29 April 2007 in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, to Raisa and Alexander Andreev. She has an elder sister, Erika, and the two girls were steered towards tennis early — Mirra first picked up a racket at the age of six, training at the Krasnoyarsk Tennis Hall under Marina Pavlova. To give the sisters better opportunities, the family moved to Sochi, where Kirill Kryukov became their coach, and in January 2022 the sisters joined the Elite Tennis Center in Cannes, France, where Mirra still lives and trains.

As a junior, Andreeva reached world No. 1 on 29 May 2023 and finished runner-up in the girls’ singles at the 2023 Australian Open. She made her professional debut in February 2022 at an ITF event in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, won four ITF singles titles that year, and finished the season ranked No. 293 at the age of 15.

Breakthrough at 16

Andreeva announced herself on the WTA Tour in April 2023, when a wildcard into the Madrid Open took her to the fourth round. She beat Leylah Fernandez, No. 14 Beatriz Haddad Maia and No. 19 Magda Linette — the last of those on her 16th birthday — before losing to world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka. She made her Grand Slam debut at the French Open a month later, reaching the third round, and then reached the fourth round at Wimbledon as a qualifier, the youngest player to do so since Coco Gauff in 2019. She finished 2023 ranked world No. 46 and was named WTA Newcomer of the Year.

The rise continued in 2024. At the Australian Open she beat No. 6 Ons Jabeur for her first top-10 win, and at the French Open she defeated world No. 2 Sabalenka in the quarter-finals to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final at 17 — the youngest player to reach the last four at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis in 1997. Her first WTA title followed in July 2024 at Iași, and at the Paris Olympics she partnered Diana Shnaider to win the silver medal in the women’s doubles, losing the final to Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini.

Back-to-back WTA 1000 titles in 2025

The 2025 season turned Andreeva from a prodigy into a contender. At the Dubai Championships in February she beat Iga Świątek and Elena Rybakina on her way to the title, defeating Clara Tauson 7–6(7–1), 6–1 in the final to become the youngest WTA 1000 champion since the format was introduced in 2009. Two weeks later she won Indian Wells, beating defending champion Świątek in the semi-final and world No. 1 Sabalenka 2–6, 6–4, 6–3 in the final. The back-to-back titles made her the youngest woman since Hingis in 1997 to win two WTA 1000 events in a row, and her top-10 debut made her the youngest player in the top 10 since Nicole Vaidišová in 2006.

She added a first WTA 1000 doubles title with Shnaider at Miami, reached her first Wimbledon quarter-final, and broke into the top five — the youngest player to do so since Maria Sharapova in 2004. She finished 2025 ranked world No. 9, having earned $4.7 million in prize money for the season, the eighth-highest total on tour and the most of any Russian player.

French Open champion in 2026

Andreeva’s 2026 season began with titles at Adelaide, where she beat Victoria Mboko in the final without dropping a set, and at Linz, where she came from a set down to beat Anastasia Potapova. She reached the Madrid final, losing to Marta Kostyuk, and won a second WTA 1000 doubles title with Shnaider at Rome. Then came Roland Garros.

Seeded No. 8, Andreeva dropped only one set on her way to the final, beating Sorana Cîrstea in the quarter-finals and Kostyuk in the semi-finals. On 6 June 2026 she defeated Polish qualifier Maja Chwalińska 6–3, 6–2 on Court Philippe Chatrier to win her first Grand Slam title. At 19 years and 38 days she became the youngest French Open women’s champion since Monica Seles in 1992, and the first Russian woman to win a major since Sharapova at Roland Garros in 2014. The title earned her €2.8 million — about $3.22 million — the biggest single payday of her career. She followed it with a first US Open quarter-final and a China Open final, and the Beijing run took her to a career-high world No. 3 on 12 October 2026, the youngest player to enter the top three since Sharapova in 2005.

2026 WTA Finals debut

Andreeva qualified for the 2026 WTA Finals at Indian Wells — the season-ending championship, held in California this year after the WTA ended its Riyadh hosting deal a year early. Seeded No. 3 in Group 2, she beat Elina Svitolina 6–4, 6–0 in her tournament debut on 9 November, then produced the performance of the event against Aryna Sabalenka on 11 November. Down 4–1 in the first set, she won the final 11 games and 45 of the last 55 points to win 6–4, 6–0 in 62 minutes.

The win made her the youngest WTA Finals semifinalist since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009 and the first player in tournament history to win a 6–0 set in each of her first two matches at the event. It sealed her place in the semi-finals on Saturday 14 November as the Group 2 winner on her debut. She plays her final group match against Karolina Muchova on Friday 13 November, with her semi-final place already secured.

Personal life

Andreeva keeps her private life out of the spotlight, and little is publicly known about it beyond her family and her tennis. Her parents moved the family from Siberia to Sochi and then to Cannes to support the sisters’ careers, and her elder sister Erika plays on the WTA Tour too.

Since March 2022, Russian players have competed on tour as neutral athletes, without flag or anthem. Off the court she is one of the most marketable young athletes in tennis, with deals including Nike, Wilson, Rolex, ISDIN and Royaltiz, and she is represented by IMG.
