With four WTA titles to her name, including her biggest to date in Tennis Paradise last year — when she became the youngest Indian Wells champion since 1999 — it’s safe to say that Mirra Andreeva has been around the block.

Whether Andreeva, now 18, is permitted to drive around the block is another question.

The defending champion and No. 8 seed sped past Argentina’s Solana Sierra, 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday inside Stadium 2, her race car tennis far too streamlined for her opponent.

She may be able to cruise the confines of the hard courts at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden without having to check her rearview mirror, but if she does that on the wide triple-lane streets of the surrounding neighborhoods she’d be in trouble.

A promise not kept

After notching her seventh consecutive win in Tennis Paradise, on-court interviewer Kondo Simfukwe asked Andreeva if she had kept a promise she’d made to him last year.

“You made the promise that the next time we saw each other at Indian Wells you would have your driver’s license. How is the driving going and when are you taking me for a ride?”

Andreeva quickly replied: “I can take you for a ride right now.”

The precocious teenager is clearly used to skipping steps on the ladder to success. How else do we explain the fact that she earned her 100th career WTA-level victory today, well before her 19th birthday?

“I’m just going to be honest, I don’t have my driver’s license, but 100 percent I’m going to be able to get you from point A to point B,” Andreeva confidently added. “Somehow, doesn’t matter how, doesn’t matter how long it’s gonna take — I’m going to get you there.”

Full credit to Andreeva for having the courage to dream big.

“I know how to drive, I’ve been practicing and it’s not like I don’t know anything about it,” she said. “I just need to have some time to get my driver’s license at some point, but I think I’m going to survive on the road.”

As the saying goes: every great champion has to believe something that the rest of the world isn’t ready to believe yet.

Travel with Mirra at your own risk.
