Mirra Andreeva Wins Indian Wells, Climbs to No. 6 in WTA Rankings

The 17-year-old Russian defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final, securing her second consecutive WTA 1000 title.

Mirra Andreeva, 17, triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka (2-6, 6-4, 6-3) in the Indian Wells final, marking her second straight WTA 1000 title after her February win in Dubai.
With this victory, Andreeva rises five spots in the WTA rankings, reaching a career-high No. 6, making her one of the youngest players to achieve this milestone.
Andreeva is now the third-youngest woman to win Indian Wells, following Martina Hingis and Serena Williams, both of whom achieved the feat at age 17.
Aryna Sabalenka, still ranked No. 1 in the WTA standings, was undefeated in sets during the tournament prior to the final but fell short of claiming her first Indian Wells title.
The updated WTA rankings show continued dominance by American players, with Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Madison Keys occupying three of the top five spots.
