Mirra Andreeva triumphs over Mboko in teenage clash to claim fourth title

Teenage phenom Andreeva has won the 2026 Adelaide International teen clash for the fourth time in a row.

Andreeva beat Victoria Mboko 6-3, 6-1 in the final to win her first WTA 500 title.

It was Andreeva’s 12th win in the last 13 matches to clinch the 2026 Adelaide title.

After the victory, Andreeva said during the trophy ceremony: “Hello everyone, First of all, of course I will congratulate Vicky and her team. You have played wonderfully since last year and I just want to congratulate you on a great week.

She joked about her own team, saying, “I don’t know, I guess my team comes next. But I feel like it was all me. I don’t know what I can. I’ve been working, I’ve been sweating, and I don’t know why you’re here, honestly.”

The world number 8 showed the world during the final in Adelaide that it is not how you start, but how you finish that matters.
