Madison Keys doubted for a long time. To finally reverse the trend and dominate the young Russian Mirra Andreeva (16) in three sets 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2. She joins the quarter-finals, for the second time at Wimbledon after 2015 and will face either Alexandrova or Sabalenka in the next leg.
Better back in the game with an entry break, Keys then sank against the young Russian prodigy who controlled the start of the game. Andreeva immediately took over her opponent’s service for the first time before repeating the performance to complete the first set in 32 minutes. In the next two sets, the American rebalanced the debates thinking first of all to see the match fly away at 4-1 against her (2nd set). Before hanging on and concluding the tie-break, authoritatively 7-6 (7/4).
The seeded N. 25 then unfolded in the third set surfing on the confidence garnered at the end of the second act. Keys broke Andreeva at the start of the last round to never flinch and thus finish the job 6-2, in 2:02 in total. The young Russian who took a “warning” two points from the end, refused to shake hands with the chair umpire, she who is still in the learning phase.
