Mirra Andreeva defeated former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to reach the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships.

The 17-year-old Russian beat the 2022 Wimbledon winner 6-4 4-6 6-3, winning the last five games in a row from 3-1 down in the decider.

Andreeva became the youngest player to reach the semi-finals of the tournament by eliminating world number two Iga Swiatek in straight sets on Thursday.

Having beaten Marketa Vondrousova in the second round, Andreeva is the youngest player to beat three Grand Slam champions in a single tournament since her compatriot Maria Sharapova did so at the WTA Finals in 2004.

Andreeva will look to win the second title of her career against Denmark’s Clara Tauson, who defeated Karolina Muchova of Czech Republic 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 in the other semi-final.

Tauson, who knocked out world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the last 16, needed almost three hours to defeat Muchova and reach her first WTA 1000 final.
