Mira Andreeva became the first Russian in 14 years to reach the final of the WTA Finals tournament.
Today Andreeva beat the American Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals.
Before her, Maria Sharapova (2004, 2007, 2012) and Vera Zavonareva (2008) reached the finals of the competition. However, only Sharapova managed to win - in 2004 she beat the American Serena Williams.
And now Mira will be the second racket in the world. The first is Elena Rybkina, who represents Kazakhstan, because she was not useful in Russia. The third, if I didn't miss anything, is Aryna Savalenko from Belarus.
