MATCH REPORT | 2024 Brisbane International: Milestone for Mirra as 16-year-old ANDREEVA reaches first career Quarter-Final in style
WTA
Mirra Andreeva has breached new ground on Thursday morning seeing off Arina Rodionova in a stunning display 6-1, 6-1 to reach the Quarter-Finals of the Brisbane International, a first for the 16-year-old on the WTA tour.
Andreeva was ultra impressive in 2023 and the first tournament of the season saw the draw open up for the teen prodigy to win through to the latter stages and she took that chance against the Russian born Aussie who saw off Sofia Kenin in the last round who was one of the main big names to fall.
As well as Kenin, Liudmila Samsonova also lost out to Andreeva as well as Diana Shnaider in the opening round with Andreeva in no time to mess around in particular against the latter as well as Rodionova losing minimal games in stunning fashion.
But for Rodionova, her time was up as Andreeva eased through winning all of her points on her first serve in the first set and she took it to her opponent's serve also. She created a total of nine break point opportunities with three converted and the hallmark of a dominant display is not facing one herself during that opening set.
She did in the second set facing one while leading 3-1. She saved it though and then went on to part more misery on her opponent by breaking again and surging towards the finishing line. Another teenager awaits who made strides last year in Australia in Linda Noskova, a kind draw for either player to reach the semi-finals in Brisbane.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
