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.
Mirra Andreeva
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
The Wuhan WTA 1000 tournament crowned Coco Gauff as the champion, after defeating Sabalenka in the semis and beating Pegula in the final (6-4, 7-5), resulting in minor shifts in the WTA ranking. Consequently, the Belarusian has lost 610 points, now totaling 10,400, maintaining her dominance at the top of the ranking. Swiatek, who reached the quarterfinals, gained 215 points (8,678 in total), along with the winner Gauff who earns an additional 610 points, securing the third position with 7,873 points. Anisimova remains in fourth place, and Pegula, the tournament runner-up, adds 530 points to her tally, surpassing Mirra Andreeva and securing the fifth position (5,183 points against the Russian's 4,643).
