Mirra Andreeva enjoyed a career-best run at Wimbledon in 2025, qualifying for her first quarterfinal.
Having lost in the first round at SW19 in 2024, Andreeva was determined to give a better account of herself this time around.
Doing just that, the Russian star took down Mayar Sherif, Lucia Bronzetti, and Hailey Baptiste en route to the fourth round of Wimbledon.
There, Andreeva defeated Emma Navarro, securing her sixth top ten win of the year as she booked her place in the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately for the 18-year-old, she failed in her bid to reach the semis, as Andreeva lost to Belinda Bencic in straight sets, 6-7, 6-7.
Reacting to Andreeva’s impressive Wimbledon campaign, a former mixed doubles Grand Slam finalist has predicted what she thinks the teenager will do next.
Jaimee Fourlis says it’s ‘only a matter of time’ before Mirra Andreeva takes the next step
During the latest episode of ‘The Tennis’, 2022 Australian Open mixed doubles runner-up Jaimee Fourlis gave her verdict on Andreeva.
“I still think she is quite young, so I think there is so much she is learning every time that she steps out on court and every time she plays a quarters or a semi, or a final of a 1000, 250, or 500,” she said.
“Every time she steps up, you can see her experience starting to come through, and I think the more she plays and she is in those moments, she is learning so much probably about herself, and her team is unreal. You saw her come out and support her coach during Wimbledon.”

Fourlis proceeded to suggest what we will see from Andreeva in the near future.
“There is so much support around her, and I think it’s only a matter of time before she takes that next step,” she said.
The Australian then shared her thoughts on the current landscape of the WTA Tour, highlighting what she ‘quite likes’ about the women’s game in 2025.
“I quite like that we have a spread on the women’s side, I think it’s good to see,” said Fourlis.
“I think we had that era of Venus [Williams] and Serena [Williams] winning everything, and I think it’s quite nice to see the level and the different game styles from each player too.”
Andreeva and Aryna Sabalenka are the only players to have won multiple ‘big’ titles in 2025, as the stars of the women’s game continue to share the success.

In comparison, there were several years, during Serena Williams’ career, when she took home three or more ‘big’ titles during the Australian Open-Wimbledon stretch of the season.
2002 – 3 titles (French Open, Wimbledon, Miami Open)2003 – 3 titles (Australian Open, Wimbledon, Miami Open)2013 – 4 titles (French Open, Miami Open, Madrid Open, Italian Open)2015 – 4 titles (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, Miami Open)
Only time will tell if we will continue to see an even share of the titles, or if one player will break through and begin to dominate.
What’s next for Mirra Andreeva in 2025?
Next up for Andreeva is a trip to Montreal for the Canadian Open, where she will compete as the number four seed.
The Russian has yet to appear at the Canadian Open, and should she compete in 2025, she will have done so at every single WTA 1000 event.
In 2024, Andreeva chose to compete at the Iasi Open WTA 250 event in Romania instead of the Canadian Open.
The decision was the right one, as Andreeva won her first tour-level title, defeating Elina Avanesyan in the final.
It remains to be seen if Andreeva can win her third WTA 1000 title of the year in Canada, but you certainly won’t want to miss any of the action.
The 2025 Canadian Open is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 28.
