Erika
Andreeva, the elder sister of the young star Mirra Andreeva, will compete in
the final of the WTA 125 Rouen.
It has been
a remarkable week for the 19-year-old, as she reached her first final in a WTA
125 event. Although she is almost three years older than her sister Mirra Andreeva, who has been the breakout sensation of the season, Erika hadn’t
previously displayed the same level of talent to break into the WTA Tour.
Erika
Andreeva, currently ranked 166th, slowly made her way into the main draws of
some 250-level tournaments and had even competed in the main draws of two Grand
Slam events (the 2022 US Open and the 2023 French Open).

She began
this tournament from the qualifying rounds and has won five consecutive
matches. In the first round, she narrowly escaped defeat against Jil Teichmann,
securing the victory in the third-set tie-break.
Andreeva
has been in great form in the subsequent rounds, losing only 14 games in three
matches, which includes victories over the 4th seed Jodie Anna Burrage (ranked
91st) and the 5th seed Alize Cornet (ranked 121st).
In the
final, she will face Switzerland's Viktorija Golubic, who is currently ranked
105th. This final provides Erika Andreeva with the opportunity to claim her
first title in the WTA 125 category, as she has previously won titles in
lower-level ITF tournaments.
Sisters
Tennis Players:
Throughout
tennis history, there have been numerous examples of siblings who pursued
tennis careers, with the iconic duo of Venus and Serena Williams leading the
way. The Williams sisters won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles together, in
addition to Serena's 23 Grand Slam singles titles and Venus's 7.
Other
renowned tennis-playing siblings include Urszula and Agnieszka Radwańska, the
Pliskova twins, Krystina and Karolina, as well as the Rodionova sisters,
Anastasia and Arina.
More
recently, we've seen promising young sibling pairs like Bianca and Leylah
Fernandez, as well as Brenda and Linda Fruhvirtova, who are making their mark
in the sport.

- Mirra's very funny words have been in my head since yesterday. "If I win the car I have 5 people in my box that can drive me around. I will forever be a passenger princess. I have a plan..." And I will never forget how she had me rolling on the floor laughing when asked how she beat Jess Pegula so handily: "I don't know what happened; It must have been the Diva in me". CLASSIC STUFF !
mandoist15-11-2026 - Can whomever has a microphone in the Final... PLEASE STOP YAMMERING ABOUT YOURSELVES NONSTOP THROUGHOUT THE MATCH???? Get a grip and STFU once in awhile so we can 'hear' the actual play on court.mandoist15-11-2026
- Martina is one of the most competent, knowledgeable, and 99.999% correct in her analysis. Most of all -- WHILE A COMMENTATOR IN MATCHES SHE KNOWS WHEN NOT TO TALK AND DISTRACT FROM THE ACTION !!! Someone please pass that idea on to Austin, Shriver, and whoever else has been f-ing YAPPING throughout the play. How thoughtless and elitist can these people be squawking nonstop throughout an entire game about themselves. STFU, please (I said "please"). Let us 'hear' the game play on court.mandoist15-11-2026
- Tennis "fans" have short memories. This is exactly who Saba always was... granted she found a 'new' persona when she began winning matches and tourneys. Off-court she's always been a racist potty-mouth. Her meanness also shines through when she thinks no one else is around. In short, the "person" you've witnessed in post-match on-court interviews is NOT who she is. As for her familiar "apologies, she can stick that routine in her racquet bags because I never believed her words nor phony "respect" for her opponents -- and I ain't buying that now.mandoist15-11-2026
- Was Saba not paying attention to those who sought an inordinate amount of attention outside of their sport (occupation)... and to the point they lost their focus and eventually their place in tennis? For example: Giorgi, Bouchard, Raducanu, etc. They became infatuated with endless Selfies, videos, podcasts, TV commercials, magazine shoots, and so on. Thus their tennis suffered. Priorities are important.mandoist14-11-2026
- I, like writer of this wonderful article, also picked Noskova to win this entire thing. I would love it if she and Andreeva are in the final.Rapunzel12-11-2026
- "Priorities", Saba... spend less time in front of cameras, anti-Social Media, selfies and back to Tennis.mandoist12-11-2026
- Tell this to Andreeva!mandoist12-11-2026
- Andreeva with 11 games in a row to add to Saba's downward spiral issue !!! Personal feelings aside... Jess Pegula may want to reassess her evaluation of Mirra's abilities.mandoist12-11-2026
- 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
