The Russian, who starts the year with a victory at the WTA Brisbane, ensures that she has learned to deal with pressure and not pay so much attention to people's expectations.
Mirra Andreeva
The four tennis players are the highest ranked in the WTA ranking without having won a 'major' yet, and all of them could cause an upset, as long as Sabalenka and Swiatek allow it.
If a tournament were organized bringing together the 8 best under-20 tennis players at the end of the year, all of them would be in the top 100, with five of them among the top 50 in the world.
We review who are the women with a chance to open their Grand Slam title account in 2026.
The Russian tennis player has shown her intention to achieve great things on the WTA circuit, also confessing that she wants to do it her way and maintaining the values that have brought her to high positions in the rankings.
Some may not remember, but Mirra Andreeva's mother made a promise to her daughter if she finished in the top 20 during the 2024 season: to get a puppy. The player kept her end of the deal, but the reward had not arrived yet. This pending account has been settled this week with the Russian finally sharing the news on social media. Meet Rassy! At 18 years old, currently in the top 10, and with her entire sports career ahead of her, we can say that Mirra is living one of the happiest moments of her life.

The Italian is in Riyadh thanks to a controversial interpretation made by the WTA of an absence in a tournament that could have penalized her and caused Andreeva to enter.
Next week you can't miss the WTA 500 in Tokyo. Why? Because we will find out the name of the eighth woman to attend the upcoming WTA Finals in Riyadh. Having already awarded the seven main tickets, the last available seat is currently taken by Mirra Andreeva. The issue is that the Russian has decided not to compete this week, so her debut as a master is now in the hands of what Elena Rybakina does in Japan. If the Kazakh reaches the semifinals – in other words, if she wins two matches – she will be the one finally boarding the plane to Riyadh.

Something is going on with Mirra Andreeva. Although she had a brilliant start to the season with the WTA 1000 in Dubai and Indian Wells, everything crumbled after Wimbledon. Her qualification for the WTA Finals seemed very likely a few weeks ago, but now it is in danger. Especially after losing in the round of 16 of the WTA Ningbo, tournament where she was the number one seed, against Lin Zhu by 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, after two hours and 19 minutes. The Russian still holds one of the two remaining spots for the WTA Finals with 4320 points, but Jasmine Paolini (4131) and Elena Rybakina (3913) could significantly reduce her points in this Chinese tournament.
Other results from the day at the WTA Ningbo 2025:
- B Bencic d. Y Starodubtseva: 57 64 75
- A Tomljianovic d. Z Sonmez: 76(8) 63
- D Shnaider d. K Muchova: 26 61 62

The irregular final stretch of the Russian requires her to add victories if she wants to make it to her first Finals, while the Italian and the Kazakh could fight until the last day for the spot.
