Mirra Andreeva made quick work of Daria Snigur at the 2026 China Open on Tuesday, scoring a 6-2, 6-2 straight-sets win<\/a> in just over an hour to reach the quarterfinals in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Andreeva Confidently Handles Snigur to Reach Quarterfinals<\/p>\n

The No. 4 seed fired six aces, tallying 18 winners against 15 unforced errors and breaking Snigur five times while dropping serve only once. The win gives Andreeva her 48th of the season<\/a>, trailing only Jessica Pegula<\/a> (50) and Elena Rybakina<\/a> (49). It also marks her 11th quarterfinal appearance of 2026.<\/p>\n

“I think today I was serving well,” Andreeva said after the match. “I also think that I was defending well because she’s a very aggressive player.”<\/p>\n

While Andreeva scored an expected victory, an upset on the other side of the WTA draw made her path forward<\/a> a lot more interesting.<\/p>\n

Alexandrova Makes History, Sets Up Andreeva Rematch<\/p>\n

No. 19 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova posted an identical 6-2, 6-2 win over Wimbledon champ Linda Noskov\u00e1<\/a>. At 31, Alexandrova is the oldest first-time Beijing quarterfinalist in tournament history.<\/p>\n

Her sets up a quarterfinal clash with Andreeva where she holds a 2-0 head-to-head edge from wins in Stuttgart and Bad Homburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s a nice statistic, but it’s better not to think about it,” Alexandrova said of their record. “We played a couple times. Every match you would play, it’s different. Every time is a different condition. It’s going to be difficult, for sure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mirra Andreeva made quick work of Daria Snigur at the 2026 China Open on Tuesday, scoring a 6-2,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[30357,16847,707,974],"class_list":["post-83431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mirra-andreeva","tag-2026-china-open","tag-2026-wta-tour","tag-mirra-andreeva","tag-wta-rankings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
