Exciting news from the world of tennis: Mirra Andreeva has achieved a remarkable milestone by soaring to her career-high ranking of No. 9 in the WTA standings as of Monday. This incredible feat makes her the first 17-year-old to break into the top 10 since Nicole Vaidisova accomplished the same in 2007.
Andreeva’s impressive rise up the rankings can be attributed to her stunning victory in Dubai last Saturday, where she triumphed over former Grand Slam champions Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Marketa Vondrousova. With this win, she has become the youngest player ever to secure the title at a WTA 1000 tournament.
The talented young star also made headlines last year when she reached the semifinals at the prestigious French Open, marking her best performance in a major tournament to date.
In other ranking news, Australian Open champion Madison Keys has also reached a career-best ranking, climbing to No. 5 even without playing a match since her victory at Melbourne Park last month. She joins Coco Gauff at No. 3 and Jessica Pegula at No. 4, creating a formidable trio of American women in the top 5 for the first time since 2003.
Adding to the American success story, Emma Navarro secures the No. 10 spot in the rankings.
Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka continues to hold the No. 1 position, with Iga Swiatek close behind at No. 2.
On the men’s side, the ATP top 10 saw minimal changes, with the only shift being Andrey Rublev’s ascent from No. 10 to No. 9 following his victory at the Qatar Open, where he exchanged places with Tommy Paul.
Jannik Sinner, currently serving a three-month doping ban, remains at No. 1, followed by a competitive lineup that includes Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Casper Ruud.
