Mirra Andreeva is back. The Mutua Madrid Open 2026 is emerging as the new great opportunity for the Russian to claim a privileged place at the top... and she is just one victory away from becoming the third-best player of the year, all of this after reaching the final in the Spanish capital. It wasn't easy; she needed to calm her nerves and avoid thoughts of distrust, after having match points, serving to close it in two comfortable sets, and seeing Hailey Baptiste turn the match around to reach two set points in the second set tiebreak. That's when the magic of the Russian appeared, saving a set point with a sensational lob and sealing the victory after a thrilling finish (6-4, 7-6(8)). 12-1 on clay in this 2026, third WTA 1000 final... Mirra mania in Madrid; she awaits Kostyuk or Potapova in the final.
