Women’s tennis has been following Mirra Andreeva’s footsteps closely for months. At the age of 16, she is having a dream season with good results in important tournaments (third round at Roland Garros, round of 16 at Wimbledon…) which has elevated her to 60th place in the WTA ranking.
After a three-week break after the US Open, the young Russian reappeared last weekend in the qualifying phase of the Beijing tournament. where he had no problem surpassing his two rivals (6-3, 6-4 over Birrell and 6-0, 3-1 and abandonment against Kalinskaya) and get the ticket for the main draw.
The time has come to see him back in action against the best in the world, and the first hurdle is level. None other than the 13th seed and former Roland Garros champion Barbora Krejcikova.
So, the result is very clear that Andreeva does not see any stage as big. A resounding 6-2, 6-2 victory sealed her place in the second round, where she will face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Tuesday.
