Mirra Andreeva etched her name into the history books once again by reaching the final of Indian Wells. The 17-year-old beat two-time Indian Wells champion Iga Świątek 7-6(1), 1-6, 6-3 in their semifinal on Friday.

Iga Swiatek lamented the windy conditions in Indian Wells following her semifinal exit but also admitted that Mirra Andreeva "played better and braver" and therefore deserved to end on the winning side.

Mirra Andreeva credited a sudden surge of confidence in the first-set tie-break and playing confidently in the third set as one of the big reasons behind her Indian Wells victory against Iga Swiatek. On Friday, the 17-year-old registered her 11th consecutive win after overcoming the Polish defending champion 7-6 (1) 1-6 6-3.
