Mirra Andreeva has successfully qualified for Wimbledon and dreams of making history in her first participation.
The Russian player has made a strong impression on the professional tour during the clay court season, positioning herself as one to watch during the third Grand Slam of the year. Andreeva received a wild card entry to the main draw of the 2023 Madrid Open and reached the round of 16, where she was defeated by eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka. At the 2023 French Open, she qualified for the main draw and reached the third round before being defeated by Coco Gauff.
At just 16 years old, Andreeva played her first matches on grass this week and secured three victories in the qualifying rounds to reach the main draw of Wimbledon for the first time.

In her debut, she will face China's Wang Xiyu, who also qualified for the tournament and reached the round of 16 at the Eastbourne Open. If she advances to the next round, she could potentially face Czech player Barbora Krejcikova, who will face Heather Watson in the first round.
In the third round, Andreeva could potentially cross paths with the 22nd seed Anastasia Potapova, the former Wimbledon junior champion in 2016. If she makes it to the second week at the All England Club, she could face the 8th seed Maria Sakkari in the round of 16. However, players like Madison Keys or Paula Badosa in that section of the draw could complicate Sakkari's chances.

If Andreeva reaches the quarterfinals, she could potentially face the world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, who has already won the 2023 Australian Open and has the opportunity to become the world No. 1 if she claims the Wimbledon title.
In the semifinals, Elena Rybakina could be a formidable opponent. The Kazakh player is aiming to defend her title from 2022, although she has been dealing with physical issues that forced her to retire from the Eastbourne Open last week.
In a potential final, the top seed Iga Swiatek is the favorite to emerge from the other half of the draw. The world No. 1 will be seeking her fifth Grand Slam title and her first Wimbledon championship.
