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, at world No. 146 on 8 May 2023.
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 major. 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 third round as a qualifier, and rose in the rankings into the top 50.
