Mirra Mirracle

Seven years ago a 10-year-old girl from Russia appeared at the Baublies Jugend Cup in Rutesheim for the first time. The girl was still too young to compete – but good enough to practice with her older sister Erika, who went to win the tennis tournament twice. Today, Erika is a top 100 player and the little Mirra Andreeva from back then is a superstar: the 17-year-old won the WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, California, the so called 5th Slam, beating Ukrainian Jelena Svitolina, Poland’s Iga Swiontek and Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus on her way to the title. It was the second major triumph of the year, taking “Mirra Mirracle” to # 6 spot at the WTA world rankings. We are proud to have experienced you twice at our venue and wish you good luck on your way to # 1.
