17-Year-Old Mirra Andreeva Claims Historic Indian Wells Title

The Russian tennis prodigy becomes the third-youngest champion in tournament history and achieves multiple record-breaking feats.

Mirra Andreeva defeated World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a comeback victory (2-6, 6-4, 6-3) to win the 2025 Indian Wells title.
The 17-year-old is now the third-youngest woman to win the Indian Wells title, following Martina Hingis and Serena Williams.
Andreeva is the second-youngest player to beat both the World No. 1 and No. 2 in the same tournament, a feat last achieved by Tracy Austin.
Her consecutive WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells mark the longest winning streak for a player under 18 in two decades.
Tennis legends, including Maria Sharapova and Rick Macci, have praised Andreeva's poise and predicted a bright future, with her ranking now rising to a career-high No. 6.
