Mirra and Erika Andreeva are gearing up for a unique sibling showdown at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart this Wednesday. The match marks their second professional encounter, following their first clash at the Wuhan Open last year, where Erika emerged victorious with a commanding 6-3, 6-1 win.
The circumstances leading to this match were unexpected. Erika, ranked No. 97, initially failed to qualify for the main draw but was granted entry as a lucky loser after Marta Kostyuk withdrew due to injury. Meanwhile, Mirra, seeded sixth and ranked No. 7 in the world, was preparing for her first-round match against Kostyuk before the change in the draw.
Both sisters have expressed their commitment to professionalism despite the familial ties. Mirra shared her thoughts during a press conference, emphasizing that they would approach the match as they would any other, ensuring a competitive and entertaining game for fans.
This sibling rivalry adds an intriguing layer to the tournament, showcasing the depth of talent within the Andreeva family. Tennis enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating this rare and exciting match between two rising stars.
