After defeating the world’s sixth player, Tunisian Ons Jabeur, 16-year-old Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva admitted that she was very nervous before the match and noted that she was inspired by her opponent’s playing style. Andreeva quotes the words “Championship.com”.
“I showed excellent tennis performance in the first set. I didn’t expect this from myself. I wanted to play on this big field for the second time and enjoy my time in the tournament. And that’s what I did,” Andreeva said after the match.
The match lasted 54 minutes and ended with a crushing victory for the 16-year-old Russian, with scores of 6:0 and 6:2 in two sets. In the third round of the tournament, Andreeva will play against French tennis player Diane Parry.
Russian tennis players continue to participate in international tournaments as neutral athletes. The only tournament they missed was Wimbledon in 2022. Sanctions were imposed because the organizers did not allow Russian tennis players to participate in the tournament.
The current winner of the Australian Open is Belarusian Arina Sabalenka.
