Teenager Mirra Andreeva produces surprise Wimbledon win
Competing in just her second grand slam and for only the sixth time on a grass court, the teenager progressed to the second week in London after a brilliant straight-sets win over the 22nd seed Anastasia Potapova on Sunday. The Russian received a deserved standing ovation from the crowd after her 6-2 7-5 win earned her a place in the last 16, where she will face American Madison Keys. Ranked No. 102 in the world, she had to qualify for Wimbledon.
I just play. I always say that it’s a game. The game will decide who will win the match.” In 2021, Emma Radacanu won the US Open as an 18-year-old qualifier and Andreeva’s performances have inevitably drawn comparisons with the Briton. Asked if she could repeat Radacanu’s feat, the Russian was poised in her reply. “Of course, in 2021 she did an amazing job. Everyone was impressed. I think she was impressed also to pass the quallies and to win the slam at 18. It’s amazing,” she said.
