Mirra Andreeva vs Belinda Bencic Preview
Mirra Andreeva paved her way into the Wimbledon quarterfinals without dropping a set in her last 4 matches. After opening with straight‑set victories over Mayar Sherif, Lucia Bronzetti, and Hailey Baptiste, she dispatched World No. 10 Emma Navarro 6‑2, 6‑3 in the Round of 16. That win made her the youngest player since 2007 to reach the quarter‑finals here.
The 18-year-old Andreeva stunned the tennis community with her performance this season, with back‑to‑back WTA titles in Dubai and Indian Wells.

Andreeva defeated World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka for her Indian Wells crown, becoming the youngest to beat both the top two-ranked players at one tournament since 1979. Partnering in doubles, she also secured titles in Brisbane and Miami. Her WTA win rate this year is over 76%, with solid stats on grass, including 59% straight‑set wins and strong serving metrics.
Belinda Bencic, on the other hand, is returning from a 15‑month maternity leave, upsetting No. 18 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in straight sets to reach her first Wimbledon quarter‑final. The Swiss has been rebuilding momentum post‑maternity. This quarter‑final marks the 2020 Olympic gold medalist’s deepest Wimbledon run after nine attempts.
Mirra Andreeva vs Belinda Bencic Head-to-Head
Mirra Andreeva and Belinda Bencic have never faced each other on the professional circuit, so their head‑to‑head record currently stands at 0–0. This Wimbledon quarter‑final will mark the first-ever meeting between the rising star and the experienced Swiss.
Mirra Andreeva vs Belinda Bencic Prediction
Mirra Andreeva currently stands at a 5–2 this season on the surface, including a flawless run at Wimbledon, as she is yet to drop a set and unleashed a powerful serve exceeding 110 mph in her fourth-round win. Her aggressive baseline game mixes heavy groundstrokes and big first serves, earning her 3.15 aces on average per match in 2025, and she repeatedly capitalises early in sets, with over 93 % of matches seeing her win at least one break point.
Bencic, meanwhile, brings technical all‑court finesse built on grass. She won the junior Wimbledon title in 2013 and the Eastbourne title in 2015. In her fourth-round match against Alexandrova at Wimbledon, she saved early break points before taking control, showcasing composure and tactical awareness.
Bencic’s overall 2025 serve stats stand at 1.75 aces per match, a first‑serve win rate of 66 %, and a 2.82 average double faults. She converts just over half her break points (52 %), showcasing solid but not dominating return play.
Andreeva’s 3.15 aces per match and elite break-point pressure (93 % chance to earn a break in any match) signal far more potent weapons. She averages 3.24 break points won per match, while Bencic’s return numbers, although competent, aren’t on the same explosive level.
Prediction: Andreeva to win in straight sets
