Mirra Andreeva has received many messages of support from fellow WTA players after winning the Linz Open.

Andreeva had been struggling on court recently, which was most notable in her outburst after suffering an early exit at Indian Wells last month.

The 18-year-old was hoping for a change in fortune at her first clay court tournament of the year in Linz, where Andreeva beat Anastasia Potapova in the final.

After winning her fifth WTA title at the Linz Open, Andreeva has received messages on social media from the likes of Victoria Azarenka and Victoria Mboko.

Andreeva has now won five WTA titles, with the Linz Open her second at 500 level, adding to her victory at the Adelaide International earlier this year.

The biggest titles of Andreeva’s career came last year, when she won two WTA 1000 titles back-to-back in Dubai and Indian Wells.

After winning the title in Linz, Andreeva took to social media to reflect on her title victory.

Andreeva said on Instagram, “Thank you Linz (Australian flag and love heart emojis).”

There are numerous comments on this post, including from the likes of Azarenka, Mboko and Caroline Garcia.

Azarenka has not played a match since the US Open last year, but took the time to congratulate Andreeva.

The two-time Grand Slam champion said in a message translated from Russian to English, “Good girl!!!”

Mboko was beaten by Andreeva in the Adelaide International final earlier this year, but they still remain friends after some of their recent meetings.

The fellow teenager and top 10 player said, “Superstar (love heart eye emojis).”

Garcia retired from tennis last year, but also reacted to Andreeva’s victory by saying, “Let’s go Mirra (raised hands and muscle emoji). Bravooooo.”

What is next for Mirra Andreeva?

Andreeva has a short turnaround to her next tournament, as she now plays another WTA 500 level event on indoor clay in Stuttgart.

This will be Andreeva’s second appearance at the Stuttgart Open, having lost in the second round last year to Ekaterina Alexandrova.

The Russian has a tricky opening match at the Stuttgart Open this year, as Andreeva faces defending champion Jelena Ostapenko.

Some of the other potential threats to Andreeva in Stuttgart include Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek.

The Stuttgart Open gets underway on Monday, April 13, with Andreeva set to play her first round match on Tuesday.
