On the 21st local time, the 2025 Dubai Women's Open was another upset, and the 17-year-old Russian genius Andreeva defeated Kazakhstan's 6th seed Rybakina 6:4, 4:6, 6:3, and entered the women's singles final of the WTA 1000-point tournament for the first time in her career, setting the youngest record in history.
Andreyeva, a 17-year-old Russian genius girl
"To be honest, it's crazy because I wasn't too optimistic at first when I came to Dubai. I was like, 'Okay, I'm just going to play.'" Against the 2022 Wimbledon Women's Singles champion Rybakina, 12-seeded Andreeva overcame a 3-1 deficit in the deciding set to dramatically pull back five games to qualify, and once again amazed the Middle Eastern audience with a menacing performance, "As always, when you don't think about how you want to play, you just need to play your best tennis." Ultimately, it's going to be one of your best races. ”
Andreeva is the third young girl to reach the final of the WTA 1,000-point tournament since its inception in 2009, following Poland's former Swiatek at the 2021 Rome Championship and the American Gauff at Cincinnati's 2023 title. Andreeva swept the crowd in the United Arab Emirates this week, including the Czech Republic's left-handed Vondrousova, Swiatek and Rybakina, all of whom were defeated.
Andreeva's final opponent was 22-year-old Danish dark horse Tauson, who defeated 14th seed Mukhova of the Czech Republic 6:4, 6:7 (4:7), 6:3.
