Russian Mirra Andreeva for the first time will become the second racket of the world

After reaching the final of the WTA Final tournament, Mirra Andreeva guaranteed herself second place in the world ranking - this will happen for the first time in her career.

The Russian, who is the first racket of the country, beat American Jessica Pegula in the semifinals. Even if Andreeva loses in the decisive match, her final result will be 7306 points. Pegula, who has 6,160 points, retained a chance to beat the Russian only if she won the tournament.
