Mirra Andreeva, playing in a WTA main draw for only the second time, has won her past 15 matches at all levels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Russian 15-year-old Mirra Andreeva’s stunning run at the Madrid Open continued with a 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 win over world number 14 Beatriz Haddad Maia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Andreeva, given a wildcard for the clay event, became the seventh-youngest player since 2000 to beat a top-20 ranked opponent before the age of 16.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her win over Brazil’s Haddad Maia came 24 hours after she beat 2021 US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez in round one. <\/span><\/p>\n

Belarusian second seed <\/span>Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong> and American <\/span>Coco Gauff<\/strong> also won.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australian Open champion Sabalenka bounced back from losing to Poland’s world number one Iga Swiatek in the Stuttgart final last weekend with a 6-4 6-3 victory against Romania’s Sorana Cirstea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixth seed Gauff, 19, needed only one hour and 17 minutes to beat Spain’s Irene Burillo Escorihuela 6-4 6-1 and will play <\/span>Paula Badosa<\/strong> – another Spaniard – in the third round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gauff, who also burst on to the WTA Tour as a 15-year-old in 2019, was the last player before Andreeva to beat a member of the top 20 while aged under 16.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following her impressive back-to-back wins, Andreeva will face Poland’s 17th seed <\/span>Magda Linette<\/strong> – a semi-finalist at the Australian Open in January – in the last 32. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m a bit surprised to be in the third round but also everyone was telling me they are playing the same level as you, they are just more consistent,” said 194th-ranked Andreeva.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Their mental level is different but the game-level is almost the same.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Former world number two Badosa was hampered by a leg injury against Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto but dug deep to win 6-3 4-6 6-4 in a match lasting two hours and 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany’s <\/span>Jule Niemeier<\/strong> caused an upset as she beat Czech 10th seed Petra Kvitova – a three-time champion in Madrid – while French fifth seed <\/span>Caroline Garcia <\/strong>won 6-3 6-4 against Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva.<\/span><\/p>\n
