Mirra Andreeva earned her best finish at Wimbledon this year, reaching the quarter-finals at the All England Club. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Following an impressive run at the championships, where she displayed some of the best grass-court tennis of her career, Andreeva ultimately bowed out to Belinda Bencic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Russian has now made the quarter-finals at two Grand Slam events this year, after her last-eight appearance at Roland Garros earlier in June.<\/p>\n

With the conclusion of Wimbledon<\/a>, Andreeva<\/a>\u2018s ranking has improved once again, and she has now made history on the tour.<\/p>\n

At just 18 years old, Andreeva has officially made her top-five debut in the world rankings, rising from number seven.<\/p>\n

She becomes the youngest woman to break into the top five since former WTA<\/a> number one Maria Sharapova<\/a> in 2004.<\/p>\n

Sharapova claimed the top spot in the rankings the year after she cracked the top five, something Andreeva will hope to emulate. <\/p>\n

Other post-Wimbledon shifts in the top 10 include Iga Swiatek<\/a>\u2018s bump to third, and Amanda Anisimova<\/a>\u2018s rise from 12th to seventh.<\/p>\n

Andreeva didn\u2019t drop a set en route to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, sweeping aside Mayar Sherif and Lucia Bronzetti in the opening two rounds.<\/p>\n

She then earned back-to-back wins over Americans, beating Hailey Baptiste and 10th seed Emma Navarro<\/a>. <\/p>\nRoundOpponent<\/tr>\n\nQuarter-Final<\/td>\nBelinda Bencic (L)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFourth Round<\/td>\nEmma Navarro (W)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nThird Round<\/td>\nHailey Baptiste (W)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSecond Round<\/td>\nLucia Bronzetti (W)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFirst Round<\/td>\nMayar Sherif (W)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The young star was then faced with Bencic, with whom she went to two tiebreaks, losing narrowly in both of them. <\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the hard-court season, Andreeva will now set her sights on the US Open, where she has never made it past the second round.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
