Mirra Andreeva - People also ask
At 19, Mirra Andreeva is already a Roland-Garros champion, a top-5 force, and the most dangerous young weapon in women's tennis.
Mirra Andreeva won Roland-Garros 2026 at 19, becoming the youngest French Open champion since Monica Seles in 1992, and she did it with a 6-3, 6-2 clinic against Maja Chwalińska that left no room for debate. She is not a prospect anymore. She is one of the best players on the planet.
Born on April 29, 2007, in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Andreeva grew up in one of Russia’s coldest cities before her entire family relocated to Cannes, France, in January 2022 so she could train full-time at the Elite Tennis Center, the same facility where Daniil Medvedev once honed his game. Her older sister Erika, born in 2004 and also a professional player, trains there alongside her.
By 2025, at just 17, she had already claimed back-to-back WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells, making her the youngest WTA 1000 champion since the category launched in 2009. That was not beginner’s luck; it was a statement of intent.
Because of the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under national identities, Andreeva competes as a neutral athlete: no flag, no anthem. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, under the Individual Neutral Athletes banner, she won silver in doubles alongside Diana Shnaider. The politics are not of her making, but she plays on regardless.
Since April 2024, she has been coached by Conchita Martínez, the 1994 Wimbledon champion. The partnership has already produced a Grand Slam. Whatever comes next, Andreeva is not slowing down.
