The WTA 2024 season was hugely dominated by Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, who continued from where they stopped last season. However, it wasn’t without drama on the court, as several youngsters claimed their first title.
Promising youngsters like Diana Shnaider enjoyed a major breakthrough this year. Also, Coco Gauff hit her best form of the year and earned her first WTA Finals title, ending the season better than she started it.
In this article, we will take a look at the Top WTA youngest players to win a title in the 2024 season.
3) Diana Shnaider
Shnaider enjoyed her best season on Tour by winning four titles this year. In fact, the Russian star won titles on hard courts, grass, and clay, a rare accomplishment only five players in the Top 20 have achieved in a season. She won her maiden title at the 2024 Thailand Open defeating defending champion Zhu Lin in the final.
She was just 19 years and 10 months old when she achieved that. The Russian continued with her form, and in June, after she turned 20, she won the Bad Homburg Open grass-court WTA 500 event.
The following month she won her first clay title at the Budapest Grand Prix. Shnaider ended the year by winning the Hong Kong Open beating tournament favorite Katie Boulter.
2) Coco Gauff
Gauff continued from where she stopped in the 2023 season by winning the Auckland Open. At just 19 years and 10 months old, the American defeated Elina Svitolina in three sets to win her first title of the 2024 season. However, she had to wait for seven months to win another title. But, before that, she reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and French Open.
The World No.3 claimed her second title of the season at the China Open WTA 1000 after beating Karolina Muchova in straight sets. She continued with her form and claimed the WTA Finals title after coming from behind to beat Qinwen Zheng. The American star ended the season with an overall 54-17 win-loss record.
1) Mirra Andreeva
Andreeva won the 2023 WTA Newcomer of the Year after her impressive run that led her to become the youngest player in the Top 60. The teenage star continued with that form in the 2024 season and it paid off in Romania at the UniCredit Iasi Open. The Russian notched her maiden title at just 17 years and three months.
She became the youngest player to win a WTA title since Coco Gauff at the Parma Open 2021 and fourth overall since 2006. Besides that, Andreeva earned her biggest win of the season by beating Aryna Sabalenka at the French Open and also reached the semifinals of the event.
