Breaking News:The 17-year-old beat No. 2-ranked Iga Swiatek in the semifinals and No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the final of Indian Wells…see more details below.

Mirra Andreeva becomes second-youngest woman to defeat No. 1 and No. 2 at the same tournament.
Mirra Andreeva becomes second-youngest woman to defeat No. 1 and No. 2 at the same tournament.
Mirra Andreeva has won her second straight WTA 1000 title at Indian Wells, and at 17 years old she’s the third-youngest woman ever to conquer the desert, after Martina Hingis in 1998 and Serena Williams in 1999.

But the way Andreeva won Indian Wells was even more historic.

By defeating No. 2-ranked Iga Swiatek in the semifinals and No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the final, Andreeva has become the second-youngest player in WTA rankings history to defeat both of the Top 2 players in the world at the same tournament.

The only younger player to achieve the feat is Tracy Austin, who actually did it twice as a 16-year-old in 1979, at the US Open and Filderstadt.

Official WTA rankings began on November 3rd, 1975.

mistakenly stated that Steffi Graf also did this as a 17-year-old at Miami in 1987, beating No. 1 Navratilova and No. 2 Evert, but those were just their seedings, and Graf had passed Evert for the No. 2 ranking the week before—

And neither of Andreeva’s back-to-back Top 2 wins were easy, either.

After squeaking out a close first set in a tie-break, Andreeva had to battle back after a second-set blow-out to defeat Swiatek in the semifinals on Friday, edging the two-time Indian Wells champion, 7-6 (1), 1-6, 6-3.

Then, after another blow-out in the first set of the final on Sunday, she clawed her way back to defeat Sabalenka for the title, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

And if her start to the year is anything to go by, watch out—Andreeva’s victory over Sabalenka was her 19th win of the season, breaking a tie with Swiatek and Madison Keys for the most on the women’s tour this year.

She’ll now head to Miami, where—should she win the title there, too—she would become the youngest player ever, male or female, to complete the Sunshine Double of winning Indian Wells and Miami in the same year.

No teenager has ever achieved the feat, and she’s still only 17.

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Brady just stunned the world — again. The seven-time Super Bowl legend quietly invested $8.6 million of his own fortune to transform a 200-year-old Boston mansion into a sanctuary for homeless youth after a late-night encounter that reportedly “changed him forever.” Witnesses say Brady had stopped near Boston Common to speak with a teenage boy sleeping against a church wall, wearing a faded Patriots hoodie. They talked for nearly twenty minutes — no cameras, no entourage. When Brady finally walked away, he looked shaken. A week later, construction crews arrived at the mansion gates with blueprints marked “The Tomorrow House.” The historic estate, once a relic of Boston’s old elite, is being reborn with study rooms, counseling centers, and a rooftop garden “to remind them the sky is still theirs.” Inside sources say Brady’s message was simple: “No kid should ever feel forgotten.” And while the city celebrates his generosity, there’s one quiet detail hidden in the mansion’s design — a secret tribute that only a handful of people know about… and when it’s revealed, it might be Tom Brady’s most personal touchdown yet… Details below👇
