17-Year-Old Mirra Andreeva to Face Aryna Sabalenka in Indian Wells Final

The Russian prodigy seeks revenge against the World No. 1 following two earlier defeats this season.

Mirra Andreeva, 17, defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek in a three-set semifinal to secure her place in the Indian Wells final.
Andreeva's 11-match winning streak includes victories over top-seeded opponents, making her the youngest Indian Wells finalist since 2001.
Aryna Sabalenka enters the final without dropping a set in the tournament, having dismantled Madison Keys in the semifinals.
Sabalenka leads their head-to-head record 4-1, including two dominant wins over Andreeva earlier this season in Brisbane and Melbourne.
Andreeva credits her coach Conchita Martinez and a sports psychologist for helping her improve mental resilience and tactical preparation.
