Andreeva, Perricard Shine at Brisbane International

Posted : 02 January 2025

Russian rising star Mirra Andreeva and Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard showcased their growing potential at the Brisbane International with standout performances on Thursday. Seventeen-year-old Andreeva cruised past Linda Noskova 6-3, 6-0 in just 63 minutes, avenging her loss to the Czech player at the same event last year. Her commanding victory highlighted her progress since 2024 as she advanced to the quarterfinals, where she will face either Ons Jabeur or Elina Avanesyan.

 

Andreeva, ranked 16th in the world at the start of the year, is widely regarded as a strong contender for a Grand Slam title in 2025. Coached by former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez, the Russian prodigy expressed her ambitions for the season, aiming to break into the top 10. Reflecting on her win, she said, "Last year she almost killed me in the quarterfinals, so I was thinking it’s time to take my revenge." Her determined mindset underscores her readiness to compete at the highest level.

 

Meanwhile, 21-year-old Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard continued his impressive run, defeating fourth-seeded American Frances Tiafoe 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) to reach the men's quarterfinals. Building on his thrilling first-round win over Nick Kyrgios, the Frenchman delivered another powerful serving performance, firing 20 aces against the US Open semifinalist. Perricard, known for his towering presence and powerful game, now prepares to face 19-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik in the next round.

 

As the Australian Open approaches, beginning on January 12 in Melbourne, both Andreeva and Perricard have established themselves as players to watch. Their performances in Brisbane underline their potential to make deep runs in the year’s first Grand Slam, setting an exciting tone for the 2025 tennis season.
