Mirra Andreeva is proving to be one of the best tennis players on this clay court tour. Conchita Martínez's protege has found a consistency on clay that she hadn't had for a year. Linz title, semifinals in Stuttgart, final in Madrid, and now she advances to the quarterfinals of the WTA Rome 2026, after defeating Elise Mertens 6-3, 6-3. In fact, the Russian reaches the quarterfinals of the Italian tournament for the second consecutive year and becomes the youngest player (19 years old) to achieve this since Jelena Dokic in 2001.
