This was the reason Andreeva was obsessed with reaching the top 20
Mirra Andreeva is becoming one of the sensations of this year. The 17-year-old won at the WTA 1000 in Dubai and now wants to do the same in Indian Wells. In fact, if she achieves it, she would rise to sixth place in the rankings. However, the protege of Conchita MartĂnez has stated that she no longer checks the rankings, but she used to be obsessed with them. The reason being that her mother promised her a dog if she made it to the Top 20. "I was always checking the live rankings because I used to play for a dog. I had to be among the top 20 by the end of last year, and I achieved it when I defeated Magda Linette in Beijing. I sent the screenshot to my mother and now I'm waiting for the dog."
Mirra Andreeva in the press says she no longer focuses on her ranking after reaching her top-20 goal in 2024, which meant her mom would get her a dog.
