Andreyeva triumphed in Dubai two weeks ago and has already moved up to 6th place in the world rankings.
Conchita Martinez's protégé
Conchita Martinez's protégé was ranked No. 9 in Indian Wells and defeated Poland's Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals. No player has ever beaten the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the world rankings at a tournament before. Younger Indian Wells winners were Martina Hingis (SUI/1998) and Serena Williams (USA/1999).
Her victory in the final of the event, which has prize money of around nine million US dollars, was her second against Sabalenka in their sixth duel. This year, she had lost to the Belarusian in Brisbane and at the Australian Open.
