Aryna Sabalenka has issued a verdict in the case of her great rival. It couldn't be clearer.
"I'd single out a few players. For example, Aleksandrova, who entered the top ten—that's a big step up. There's also the Canadian Mboko, who won the tournament in Montreal this year. But I'm most looking forward to Mirra Andreeva's breakthrough in Grand Slam tournaments," admitted the Belarusian.
Two big victories and waiting for a breakthrough in the Grand SlamsThe 2025 season was a breakthrough for Mirra Andreeva, confirming her status as one of the biggest young stars in women's tennis. The Russian won two prestigious WTA 1000 titles—first in Dubai, where she defeated Clara Tauson in the final, and then in Indian Wells, triumphing in a superb match over the number one ranking, Aryna Sabalenka. These successes not only brought her the first major trophies of her career but also allowed her to climb to the top of the WTA rankings, a remarkable achievement at such a young age.
Andreeva has proven her consistency in Grand Slam tournaments. At the Australian Open and Roland Garros, she reached the fourth round, demonstrating a solid level of play and maturity in key moments. Her greatest success, however, came at Wimbledon, where she advanced to the quarterfinals. A natural step in the Russian's career should be improving her results at Grand Slam tournaments next season.
