WTA Iasi 2024. Mirra Andreeva, the first of many

A very beautiful final we had this evening at the WTA 250 in Iasi, although it had to be played at night due to the four hours of rain in the city. Mirra Andreeva, who at 17 years old faced a draw as the top seed for the first time, was up against her compatriot Elina Avanesyan, five years older. For both, it was their first individual final in their careers, so neither could rely on experience here, but it was ultimately the younger of the two who crossed the finish line first (5-7, 7-5, 4-0 Ret). A super close match in which Avanesyan ended up retiring in the third set due to leg discomfort. Congratulations to Mirra and also to Conchita Martínez, a happy coach who experienced it all from the stands. Now it's time to rest before catching a flight tomorrow to the Olympics.
