Promises fulfilled, medals achieved, and now honored by Putin: Andreeva and Shnaider embody the future of Russian tennis, already recognized as national figures.

Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider, doubles partners, have been among the promising talents of Russian tennis for a few seasons now. The former, having entered the top 10 thanks to her victories in Dubai and then Indian Wells, seems destined for a bright future.

Shnaider, still a member of the top 20, has struggled a bit to replicate her stellar 2024 season, even though she claimed a title in Monterrey at the end of August. In doubles, the two players won the silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and triumphed this year at the WTA 1000 in Miami.

These results have already convinced the Russian government and President Vladimir Putin to award them the "Order of Merit for the Fatherland" medal. This honor is given to athletes who contribute to the development of physical culture and sports in Russia.

Andreeva Mirra

9e, 4319 points

Shnaider Diana

21e, 1866 points

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
