2022: WTA Tour debut

2023: Major and WTA 1000 debuts and fourth rounds, top 50
In January 2023, Andreeva reached the final of the girls' singles at the Australian Open, eventually losing to doubles partner Alina Korneeva in three sets.
At 15 years of age, ranked No. 194, Andreeva received a wildcard into the main draw of the WTA 1000 Madrid Open and won her first WTA Tour match against Leylah Fernandez. With this victory, she became the third youngest player to win a main-draw match at a WTA 1000 tournament, behind only Coco Gauff and CiCi Bellis. Moreover, Andreeva was only the second 15-year-old to defeat a top-50 opponent at a WTA 1000 tournament, with Bellis being the first in 2015. Next, she defeated 13th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, for her first top-20 win, to reach the third round, becoming the seventh youngest player to defeat a top-20 opponent before the age of 16 in the 21st century. On her 16th birthday, she recorded her 16th professional win against another top-20 player, 17th seed Magda Linette, to reach the round of 16. Next, she lost to eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka. As a result, Andreeva moved more than 50 positions up into the top 150 of the rankings on 8 May 2023, at world No. 146.
Ranked No. 143, Andreeva made her Grand Slam debut at the French Open, qualifying for the main draw and then defeating Alison Riske-Amritraj in the first round to record her first Major win. Next, she defeated wildcard Diane Parry to reach the third round for the first time at a Grand Slam. As a result, she became the youngest player to reach this milestone since 15 year old Sesil Karatancheva in 2005 and the seventh player in the past 30 years to reach this stage at Roland Garros before turning 17. Despite winning the first set, Andreeva lost to sixth seed and eventual quarterfinalist, Coco Gauff, in the third round. She moved more than 40 positions up in the WTA rankings, one spot shy of the top 100, on 12 June 2023.
Andreeva made her main-draw debut at Wimbledon after qualifying. She reached the third round, defeating Wang Xiyu and tenth seed Barbora Krejčíková by retirement for the biggest win of her career. Next, she defeated 22nd seed and fellow Russian, Anastasia Potapova, to reach the fourth round, becoming the youngest player since Coco Gauff in 2019 to reach this milestone at the All England Club. As a result, she rose in the rankings into the top 70. At the US Open, Andreeva won her first-round match, before falling in the second round to the eventual champion Coco Gauff. She reached a new career-high of No. 57 on 11 September 2023. At the China Open, she reached the fourth round as a qualifier, losing to Elena Rybakina, and rose in the rankings into the top 50.
2024: First WTA quarterfinal and top 10 win, Australian Open debut & fourth round, top 35
At the Brisbane International, Andreeva won her first three matches to reach her first WTA quarterfinal, taking out the fourth seed and top 20 player, Liudmila Samsonova, and wildcard Arina Rodionova along the way. At the 2024 Australian Open she defeated Bernarda Pera and next sixth seed Ons Jabeur, her first top-10 win, to reach the third round on her debut at this Major.At age 16 and 263 days, Andreeva was the youngest player in the Open Era to hand a top-10 seed a first-set bagel at a Grand Slam. She was also the second-youngest player in the Open Era to lose fewer than three games against a top-10 seed at a Grand Slam. The youngest was Jelena Dokic, when she defeated world No. 1 Martina Hingis in the first round of 1999 Wimbledon. In the third round of the Australian Open, Andreeva defeated Diane Parry after trailing 1–5 in the final set and saving a match point on her own serve at 2–5. She was the fourth player in the last 30 years to reach the fourth round in singles before turning 17 at both Wimbledon and the Australian Open after Martina Hingis, Tatiana Golovin and Coco Gauff.
