Mirra Andreeva overcame Linda Noskova with a resounding 6-1, 7-5 and advanced to the 4th round of the Rome Open. The Russian teenager continues her impeccable form after defeating the resilient 20-year-old star Noskova.
Andreeva reaches the Round of 16 of a WTA 1000 for the third time this season – having won the title in the previous two in Dubai and Indian Wells. The Russian prepares to face Clara Tauson, precisely her opponent in the Dubai final, who comes from surprising the 10th seed Emma Navarro.
First Set
The first set began with Noskova holding her service game and Andreeva quickly responding without problems. However, little by little, the Russian began to trouble her opponent, securing the break on her 4th chance of the third game. With the advantage in her favor, Andreeva looked more comfortable on the court and took absolute control of a set that started evenly.
Noskova found no way to turn things around, winning just 50% of the points on her first serve and 33% on her second, ending up conceding her serve three consecutive times, giving Andreeva a straightforward set 6-1 after 28 minutes, having won 6 consecutive games and conceding only four points on her serve.
Second Set
In the second set, Noskova seemed to regain her rhythm in the match after holding her first service game and then creating a couple of break point opportunities in her favor. The Czech took the break and moved ahead 3-1 on her serve. The Czech seemed closer to securing another break than Andreeva was to recovering, while struggling with her first serve.
However, Andreeva managed to come back from a 2-4 deficit, winning three consecutive games and taking a 5-4 lead. Noskova faced the pressure on her serve to stay alive in the set and managed to level things. Everything seemed to be heading for a tie-break, but the Czech committed a couple of unforced backhand errors that ended up costing her the match.
The Russian secured the victory 6-1, 7-5 and advanced to the Round of 16, where she will face Clara Tauson. Their two previous matches took place this year, first in the final of the WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (7-6, 6-1 in Andreeva's favor) and a couple of weeks later in the third round of Indian Wells (6-3, 6-0 victory for Andreeva), where again the Russian ended up winning the title.

- 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.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
