For the second time in as many months, Mirra Andreeva has reached the third round of a grand slam – well before her 17th birthday
The Russian star advanced at Wimbledon on Thursday when her opponent, Czech 10th seed Barbora Krejčíková, retired from their second-round match with Andreeva leading 6-3 4-0. In what will be just her sixth game on grass, Andreeva next faces compatriot Anastasia Potapova on Saturday. Her sudden rise this year has caught the attention of Netflix cameras filming the next instalment of the “Break Point” docuseries. “They are following me,” Andreeva told reporters after Thursday’s match.
“I always want to win, it doesn’t matter which tournament, which round,” she told reporters. “I always go to win. I will just do my best. “If I can advance to the round of 16, I will be super happy. If I can advance to the semifinal, I will be of course super happy … Honestly I don’t have any goals. I just play.
