The 18-year-old tennis player from Russia — just pulled off another impressive win at the 2025 French Open. She beat Daria Kasatkina in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. But don’t let that score fool you. The match wasn’t as easy as it looks.
Honestly, it looked like things were slipping in the second set. Kasatkina was ahead 5-3 and even had a set point. You’d think the pressure would get to someone so young, right? But nope — Andreeva stayed totally calm, saved that set point, and flipped the match around. The way she handled it... you could just see how mature she’s become on the court. That kind of composure is rare at her age.
And here's the wild part — with this win, she’s now made it to the quarter-finals at Roland Garros two years in a row. Not many teenagers can say that. In fact, the last one who managed it was Martina Hingis back in the '90s. Pretty crazy, right?
She's Not Just Winning — She’s Owning It
What’s standing out about Andreeva this time is how she hasn’t dropped a single set in the tournament so far. Like, zero. Every match, she’s just been locked in — no drama, no panic. Just really solid tennis.
A few things about her game right now:
-
She’s winning every match in straight sets
-
Her serve has been reliable, which wasn’t always the case
-
Her movement across the court looks sharp and effortless
-
Forehand, backhand — both looking tight and under control
But what makes her even more likeable is that she’s still got this humble, grounded vibe. After one of her earlier matches, she mentioned that a young fan gave her a lucky charm — and she actually said thank you during her post-match chat. That’s the kind of stuff that sticks with people. She’s not just winning fans with her game, but also with her attitude.
What Comes Next? Can She Go All the Way?
Now, everyone’s kind of wondering the same thing: is this the year Mirra goes all the way and grabs her first Grand Slam title?
Her next match could be against either France’s Loïs Boisson or the American third seed Jessica Pegula. No matter who it ends up being, it’s going to be a real test. Pegula especially will be tough — she’s experienced, and she doesn’t give up points easily. But honestly, the way Andreeva’s been playing? She looks ready.
She’s got momentum. She’s confident. And she’s playing like someone who believes she belongs at the top.
People are already starting to believe it too.
