Mirra Andreeva had been one of the most rising sensations of the sport. The 16-year-old took the world by storm in this 2023 season. Recently winning the WTA ‘Newcomer of the Year’ Award, Andreeva has announced that she is here to stay. For a 16-year-old, she has shown amazing resilience and skillset. However, one of his dreams came true during the 2023 World Tennis League in the UAE.

During the French Open, Mirra Andreeva had expressed her wish to team up with her fellow Russian counterpart, Andrey Rublev. The dream came true during the World Tennis League, as both of them teamed up for the Mixed doubles.

They were up against the Polish duo of Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz. However, they lost the match because of the prior experience that Swiatek and Hurkacz had playing with each other.

After reaching the third round of the French Open, Andreeva was asked about the player she would like to play doubles with. To this question, Andreeva had answered, 

I’d feel most comfortable playing with Andrey Rublev because he’s kind. I’m also kind of nice. If one day he asks me, I will say yes & yes & YES.
