Andreeva stuns Sabalenka to rule Indian Wells

(UPDATE) INDIAN WELLS, California — Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva came back to beat No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, in the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday to make the 17-year-old the tournament's youngest champion since Serena Williams in 1999.

The 11th-ranked Andreeva improved to 19-3 this season — the most wins by a woman on tour — and collected her second Masters 1000 title of 2025. The other came at Dubai in February, which earned her a top 10 ranking for the first time. Andreeva will return to that upper tier in Monday's WTA rankings.
