Mirra Andreeva has claimed 30 hard court WTA-1000 wins before turning 19
Andreeva’s name now sits alongside the likes of Maria Sharapova and Martina Hingis after her latest victory in Miami.
As per statisticians OptaAce, Mirra Andreeva is now only the third player to claim 30 or more hard court WTA-1000 wins before turning 19 since the format’s introduction in 1990.

As for Sharapova, she won the 2004 Wimbledon Ladies Singles title, the WTA Finals, and two WTA 1000 titles before she turned 19.
Returning to Andreeva, she will face fellow youngster Victoria Mboko in the Miami Open fourth round.
Mboko defeated Andreeva in their last match at the 2026 Qatar Open, defeating the Russian 6-3, 3-6, 7-6.
