Mirra Andreeva makes history by becoming the youngest player to claim a WTA 1000 title after winning the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Youth will be served in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, where 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva is set to take on Denmark's Clara Tauson for the biggest title of their careers.

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva became the youngest player to reach the final of a WTA 1000 event after beating sixth-seeded Elena Rybakina 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 at the Dubai Championships.

Tauson started strong, racing into a 2-0 lead in the opener, but the momentum soon switched as Andreeva shook off any early nerves

Clara Tauson, ranked 38th, has three career WTA titles, the most recent one at Auckland last month. She is chasing her own history of being the first Danish woman to compete in a WTA 1000 final since Caroline Wozniacki. Clara Tauson becomes the 2nd Danish player to reach a WTA 1000 singles final.

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva beat Clara Tauson 7-6 (1), 6-1 in the Dubai Championships to earn the biggest title of her career.

Tauson will not be the only new face in a WTA 1000 final on Saturday, with Mirra Andreeva also making her first appearance in one after upsetting Elena Rybakina earlier on Friday
