In the 2019 Sofia Open, Andreev was granted another wildcard for the main draw. The Bulgarian pushed world No. 45 Matthew Ebden to three sets, but ultimately lost in the third set tie-break.[5]

A year later Andreev received another wild card for the main draw at the 2020 Sofia Open, but couldn't go past 6th seed John Millman.[6]
