Mirra Andreeva Makes Tennis History Again at the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open
Teen Sensation Reaches Back-to-Back Quarter-Finals, Sets Up Birthday Showdown with Coco Gauff
The tennis world is once again buzzing about Mirra Andreeva. The 17-year-old Russian continues to make history at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025, advancing to the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year — a feat no other player her age has ever accomplished in Madrid.
🎉 Andreeva will now face Coco Gauff on her 18th birthday in what promises to be a blockbuster showdown!
Another Breakthrough in Madrid for Mirra Andreeva
Currently ranked No. 7 in the WTA rankings, Mirra Andreeva is showing the world that her rise is no fluke. Following WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells earlier this season, she’s brought her red-hot form to Madrid, where she’s carved a clear path to the final eight.
Her journey so far:
- ✅ Defeated Marie Bouzkova in the opening round
- ✅ Beat Magdalena Frech with powerful baseline control
- ✅ Took down Yuliia Starodubtseva, setting up a high-stakes meeting with Coco Gauff
A Historic Milestone: Youngest to Reach Multiple Madrid Quarter-Finals
According to Tennis Channel, Andreeva is now the youngest player in WTA history to reach multiple quarter-finals at the Madrid Open, achieving the feat both in 2024 and now in 2025. That’s not all — she also became the youngest player to win 10 matches at WTA 1000 events since 2009.
Gauff Awaits in Quarter-Final Blockbuster
Andreeva’s next challenge is a big one: Coco Gauff, the 21-year-old American star and world No. 4, who just reached her first-ever Madrid Open quarter-final after a straight-sets win over Belinda Bencic.
This clash between youth and experience is set to take place on Tuesday — the same day Andreeva turns 18. Talk about a birthday to remember!
Sister Rivalries & Rising Pressure
Earlier this month, Andreeva admitted that she finds it tough to play against her older sister Erika Andreeva, whom she defeated in Stuttgart. But in Madrid, the younger Andreeva seems laser-focused — and with former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martínez coaching her, the sky is truly the limit.
What’s Next for the Russian Phenom?
With a mix of mental toughness, maturity beyond her years, and an aggressive all-court game, Mirra Andreeva is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about names in women’s tennis.
Whether she takes down Gauff or not, one thing is clear: Mirra Andreeva’s star is only getting brighter — and the tennis world is here for it.
