Andreeva, Youngest Player in History to Reach Back-to-Back Round of 16 in Madrid and Rome
After making the quarterfinals in Madrid, Mirra Andreeva continues her strong run in Rome, securing her spot in the Round of 16 with a win over Linda Noskova (6-1, 7-5) this Sunday.
Having just turned 18 (on April 29), the world No. 7 has become the youngest player in WTA history to reach the Round of 16 in both Madrid and Rome consecutively.
She is also the youngest player to advance this far in the Italian capital since Coco Gauff in 2021. This statistic highlights the Russian’s impressive precocity as she prepares to battle Clara Tauson for a place in the quarterfinals.
