Mirra Andreeva is already one of the stars of the WTA. The Russian tennis player confirmed herself as one of the players to watch in 2025 after conquering Indian Wells and defeating Iga Swiatek in the semifinals and Aryna Sabalenka in the final. But, as if that weren't enough, Conchita Martínez's pupil arrived in California after winning her first WTA 1000 in Dubai. These two consecutive titles have placed her in sixth place in the WTA rankings. She exudes a sense that she can defeat any player with a very defined game, and at present, very few players are capable of deciphering her style.

As expected, all eyes at the Miami Open are on this 17-year-old who will be aiming for her third consecutive WTA 1000 before heading to the European clay court swing. Upon her arrival in Florida, she recalled her experience at the Mutua Madrid Open 2023 when she was 16 years old and reached the round of 16 after defeating three top-50 players. She admitted that only one player congratulated her on her achievement, as reported by Tennis Majors.

Bianca Andreescu, the only one to congratulate her

"It was my first tournament in Madrid, a sort of breakthrough event where I was defeated in the round of 16. But I can only mention one player who congratulated me. Later, I think even during the tournament, I received a message from Bianca Andreescu. In fact, she was the first and I think the only player who messaged me."

About the message she received from the Canadian

"She told me that if I needed any advice or, I don't know, any support, I could always reach out to her, and we could chat or call or whatever. She was very kind and also texted me after I won the Indian Wells tournament, saying some nice words."

It is worth noting that Bianca Andreescu also had a promising start to her career. At just 19 years old, she became the US Open champion in 2019 and reached the top 5 of the WTA rankings. However, injuries dashed the high expectations surrounding her, and she never quite found her form again since then. It is not surprising that she sent a message to Andreeva, perhaps to warn her of the challenges of staying at the top and how easily everything can crumble.
