THE LOWDOWN

16-year-old Mirra Andreeva finished runner-up to Alina Korneeva in the Girls’ Singles final here last season but that will feel like a distant dream compared to what she has achieved since. The Russian set a acre-high WTA world ranking of 46th at the end of an incredible debut last season, first bursting onto the scene with a run to the round of 16 at the Madrid Masters before almost making the last eight on her debut at Wimbledon – losing in three sets to Madison Keys. Andreeva also made the last 16 at the Beijing Masters in October, taking the first set from Elena Rybakina before defeat, and she started 2024 in much the same vein with a quarter-final exit at the Adelaide 500.

THE PREDICTION

World number 69 Bernarda Pera has been handed the totally thankless task of trying to beat the rising star, whose fuss-free game should see her break the top 30 in time for Roland-Garros if she carries on in this manner. Former number 27 Pera would certainly prefer this first meeting with the Russian had come on her favoured clay, as her results so far this year suggest Andreeva is the fair favourite. Back the teenager sensation to win.

TIP: MIRRA ANDREEVA TO WIN
