Mirra Andreeva, 17, will face world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday. Could Andreeva pull off an upset?
6-3, 3-6, 7-5, in the second round of the French Open -- after waiting through rain delays for hours. Andreeva jumped up in the air and waved her arms as an ecstatic smile spread across her face.
"I will not say my tactics right now," Andreeva said laughing."She probably watch it or her coaches will not watch my press conference, but just in case. Of course we will add a few adjustments. We will change something, because the way I played last two times didn't work. ... She's a player of another level, so I have to be prepared from the beginning. I hope my coach will help me with that, and, well, we'll see how it goes.
Andreeva, still playing a limited tour schedule due to her age, lost her next two matches -- in Dubai and Indian Wells. But back on clay, the surface on which she made a name for herself in 2023, Andreeva reached the quarters at the Open de Rouen and in Madrid., in April. Andreeva said Martinez has helped her stay calm on the court and remain positive through the ups and the downs.
