ST PETERSBURG, Fla. — Teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva continues to make history. Her remarkable victory at the WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open on Sunday propelled her to the No. 3 spot on the latest PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard.
At 17 years old, Andreeva became the youngest champion at Indian Wells in over 25 years. She is also the youngest player to defeat the reigning PIF WTA World No.1 in a singles final since 2005.
Madison Keys currently leads the Leaderboard with just under 3,000 points, followed by Aryna Sabalenka in second place. Andreeva, who triumphed over Sabalenka in the Indian Wells final, now holds third place with 2,500 points. This follows her second WTA 1000 title of the season, which she won at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Asia Muhammed and Demi Schuurs have made significant progress in the doubles PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard. They gained 1,000 points after winning the BNP Paribas Open title, moving them up to fourth place. Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend remain at the top spot, adding 390 points from their semifinal appearance at Indian Wells.
The upcoming two weeks are crucial for earning ranking points as the season’s fourth WTA 1000 event, the Miami Open presented by Itaú, begins.
