16-year-old prodigy Mirra Andreeva qualifies for main draw at 2023 Wimbledon
WTA
Mirra Andreeva will make her Wimbledon debut at the age of 16, despite never having played grass in her life before this week at SW19.
The 16-year-old Russian prodigy who made her name for herself during the clay court season did not receive a wildcard and had to go through qualifying.
But took to grass like a duck to the water sweeping her first two matches. Finally she saw off Tamara Korpatsch in the final qualifying round 7-5, 5-7, 6-2.
Korpatsch is famously known for being the doubles partner last year of Harmony Tan who beat Serena Williams.
The Frenchwoman then pulled out causing a storm between Korpatsch and her but she won't be in the main singles draw after defeating to Andreeva.
She will now be a major danger going into the singles draw which is made on Friday morning.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
