Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva has become the youngest player ever to reach the Dubai Championships final, following her impressive win against Elena Rybakina with scores of 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. The 17-year-old demonstrated formidable resilience, clinching victory despite trailing in the third set and securing her spot in a second tour final. Her performance echoes her earlier triumph in Iasi, Romania.
Andreeva's breakthrough has also seen her defeat Grand Slam champions Iga Swiatek and Marketa Vondrousova, drawing comparisons to Maria Sharapova's golden year in 2004. Meanwhile, Clara Tauson, another rising star, eyes glory after ousting top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. (With inputs from agencies.
