In the final match held on the morning of January 17 (Vietnam time), Mirra Andreeva - the world No. 8 player surpassed Victoria Mboko with a score of 6-3, 6-1. Despite being confidently started by a young Canadian opponent and leading 3-0 in the first set, Andreeva quickly regained control thanks to her ability to adjust her playing style and stability in the final sets. The Russian player won 6 games in a row to close set 1 with a clear advantage.
Stepping into set 2, Andreeva completely controlled the game. She quickly won a break and maintained continuous pressure on Mboko's serving games. Her solid serving ability and accurate ball control helped Andreeva finish the match after two sets, thereby affirming her superiority in both bravery and top-level playing experience.
The championship at Adelaide marked Andreeva's 4th WTA Tour title, and also the first time the 18-year-old player was crowned in a WTA 500 category tournament. Previously, she made a big splash when she won 2 consecutive WTA 1000 titles at Dubai and Indian Wells in 2025, alongside the WTA 250 championship at Iasi. This achievement helped Andreeva become one of the rare young players to soon conquer all levels of major tournaments in the WTA system.
With her current form, Mirra Andreeva is considered one of the notable faces of women's tennis in the 2026 season. Although she still does not own a Grand Slam title, the Russian tennis player is showing rapid maturity in both physical strength and competitive psychology. At the upcoming Australian Open, Andreeva will face Donna Vekic - the reigning Olympic runner-up right in the opening match, promising to be a significant challenge.
