🔍 Match Breakdown

It’s rare to see sisters face off at this level, and even rarer when one is a teenage phenom breaking through elite ranks. Mirra’s 2025 run has been nothing short of sensational—she’s shown not just raw talent, but maturity well beyond her age. This marks her first indoor clay match of the year, but her all-court intelligence should help the transition.

Erika, despite owning the only win in their rivalry, comes in on shaky form. Her lone 2024 win over Mirra came during a mental and physical dip in Mirra’s calendar—unlikely to repeat if the younger Andreeva is back in form.

Sibling familiarity may give Erika a few early reads, but Mirra’s overall arsenal and confidence are on a different level right now. She’s primed to make a statement on debut in Stuttgart.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Mirra Andreeva in straight sets

Erika pulled off the upset last time, but the trajectory has shifted. Expect Mirra to reclaim the family bragging rights in clinical fashion.
