Mirra Andreeva Eyes More History After Indian Wells Triumph
Seventeen-year-old Mirra Andreeva kicked off the week with intense recovery sessions after her title-winning run at Indian Wells, as the quick turnaround for the Miami Open leaves little time for rest.
Andreeva’s remarkable performance in California saw her defeat World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and World No. 2 Iga Swiatek in the final two rounds, securing a historic WTA 1000 title and placing herself among an elite group of players in recent WTA history.
Andreeva Matches a Record Set by Simona Halep in 2015
The Indian Wells trophy marked Andreeva’s second consecutive WTA 1000 title, following her triumph in Dubai in February. She became the first player since Simona Halep in 2015 to achieve the Dubai-Indian Wells double on the WTA Tour.
Halep’s Historic Feat a Decade Ago
In 2015, Halep made history by winning both tournaments, first defeating Karolina Pliskova in the Dubai final (6-4, 7-6[4]). She then staged a thrilling comeback in Indian Wells, rallying from a set down to beat Jelena Jankovic (2-6, 7-5, 6-4) in the final.
Andreeva Now Targets Another WTA Milestone
Next on Andreeva’s radar is another prestigious record—winning three consecutive WTA 1000 titles, a feat last accomplished by Iga Swiatek in 2022, when she triumphed in Doha, Indian Wells, and Miami.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Indian Wells tournament also made history, setting a new attendance record with an incredible 504,268 fans passing through the gates of the California tennis complex.
As Andreeva shifts focus to Miami, can she continue her stunning run and match Swiatek’s record?
