DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva beat Clara Tauson 7-6 (1), 6-1 in the Dubai Championships to earn the biggest title of her career. The victory will earn Andreeva her debut in the top 10 of the rankings next week. She is the first 17-year-old to achieve that feat since Nicole Vaidisova in 2007. It caps quite a week for Andreeva. She also had wins over 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, five-time major champion Iga Swiatek and 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to become the youngest player to defeat three major champions at a single event since Maria Sharapova at the 2004 WTA Finals. Andreeva's only other title was the Iasi Open in Romania last year.
