After Saturday’s 6-3, 6-4 win over American Jessica Pegula, the Russian teen is now one step closer to making that history. Andreeva, 19, will face the winner of the Elina Svitolina versus Linda Noskova match on Sunday.
Andreeva saved a break point in the first set, ahead 5-3, to win the game and take the first set.
Then, in the second set, she came from down a break at 3-1 to hold serve and win the five of the final six games to secure the match in front of a capacity crowd inside Stadium 2 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Indian Wells has been a friendly place for Andreeva. She won the BNP Paribas Open WTA 1000 event here last year, in March 2025.
Andreeva is now just one more win away from joining, Chris Evert, Tracy Austin, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis and Maria Sharapova as women who have won a WTA Finals title as a teenager. She would become the first teen to do it since Sharapova in 2004.
