MATCH REPORT | 2024 Brisbane International: Mirra ANDREEVA eliminated by fellow teenage prodigy Linda NOSKOVA in Quarter-Finals

Mirra Andreeva won't make it to the semi-finals of the 2024 Brisbane International after losing out to Linda Noskova in an all teenage clash 7-5, 6-3 in favour of the Czech ace.

It was the first all teenage Quarter-Final at a WTA 500 or higher since 2009 with Andreeva and Noskova proving themselves to be two of the rising talents to look out for in the sport going forward. Noskova proved to be too strong power wise for Andreeva who didn't play poorly but was well beaten in the end.
