Masters of Indian Wells 2025: from Dubai to California, the great hatching of Mirra Andreeva | Tennis | Sport

In just 22 days, From Dubai to CaliforniaThe young mirror Andreeva doubles his hatching: if in the Arab desert he triumphed after appealing to number two, Iga Swatek, is now overcoming the current queen of the circuit, Aryna Sabalenka. Bearurus is blocked when the last right overflows him from the left side and the phrase the final of the Indian wells, he solved 2-6, 6-4 and 6-3 (after 2h 05m) in favor of the Russian, pleatic and happy, excited. And rightly. Are two miles In three weeks, a more than considerable leap in classification —S is already the sixth of the world, seriously stalking the Top-5– And the demonstration that at 17 has decorated a version that can certainly compromise the strongest on the circuit.

At this moment, nobody can stop it. Not even the champions were contrasted as Sabalenka herself, nine years old, with three big ones in the curriculum and which until now had been imposed on four of the five duels between them; Twice this season. But I was warned. Andreeva, emerging since the last spring, has already given him a disgust last year to Roland Garros, and now imposes the Californian asphalt on the basis of that cocktail he meets physical, talent and appetite. “Conchita also brought me the order. He is teaching me not to be so defensive, to be more aggressive with the blows “, he appreciates the winner, whose virtues seem to have added a gaming plan that consumes rivals in an Indian line.

Able to fire a service at 202 km/h, it is the youngest sample of Indian wells since Serena Williams was in the 1999 edition, with 26 days less. Only the American and Swiss Martina Hingis, in 1998, were sooner to conquer this postín tournament. Andreeva reached it With another recital and consolidatingBringing players like Rybakina, Svitolina or Swiatek, reduced to the semifinal. It collects the story that until now only the German Steffi Graf (Miami 1987) and Serena (1999 US Open) had managed to beat the number one and two in the same race, over the past 40 years. Important words, therefore, what has happened in these last three weeks.

“Once again, I want to thank me for having fought to the end, for the effort I made and for having corrected like a rabbit today, because Aryna was launching bullets”, jokes in the coronation speech, a routine that probably becomes increasingly familiar. Andoeva celebrates what Conchita was denied, defeated in the finals 92 (Seles) and 96 (Graf), and does it after an aplomb, Pundonor and proposal lesson. Despite giving up on the first set and fell in both legumes with Sabalenka this year, Brisbane and Open of Australia, has not been intimidated. High head and firm hand. The Belarusian arrived with the precedents in hand and to give up a single game the previous day, against Madison Keys, but ends up succumbing. There is no return from her.

Russian concentrates temperament and precision, good shots and an interesting setback; Nor are lacking in creativity, determination and legs. If a left relieved or goes to the net to tighten, you have to play, and therefore the trust of a Sabalenka is gradually dismantled by the fact that in the two previous reasons why he had denied 18 options for break. Resists, but cannot. Impossible to contain it this time. Overflowing in these days Andreeva, formed on the Azul coast (Cannes) and profiled for almost a year as concite, which defined it in this way In a recent interview with this newspaper: “It is extremely perfectionist and demanding, it can sometimes transform”. He is acquiring a good shape and the fear in the intimacy of the customs expands: the young robber is already strong. Very strong.
