This has never happened before
17-year-old Russian makes tennis history
At 17 years and 299 days old, Russian Mirra Andreyeva became the youngest ever winner of a WTA 1000 tournament on Saturday in Dubai.
The number 14 in the world tennis rankings beat Denmark's Clara Tauson 7:6(1),6:1 in the final. However, this category was only introduced in 2009.
Martina Hingis, for example, won the Players Championships in Key Biscayne (Miami) at the age of 16 years and 6 months - a tournament that would probably have had a 1000 status at the time.
One thing is certain: with this success, Andreyeva will also be in the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time next week.
