At 16, Mirra Andreeva does not intend to wait to go far in Grand Slam. After her round of 16 at Roland-Garros three weeks ago, where she was stopped by the American Coco Gauff, the Russian is doing better at Wimbledon by reaching the round of 16 this time. Even more if affinities against the American Madison Keys, who will be her opponent on Monday on the London courts.
Having been unable to play on Saturday due to bad weather, Mirra Andreeva is the last player to validate her ticket for the 8th. To do so, she dominated in two rounds the seeded number 22, Anastasia Potapova, who resisted in the second round after having been clearly outclassed in the first act (6-2). At 4-4, Potapova thus dismissed a host of break points to prolong the suspense. Only a time since at 5-5, this time, Andreeva managed to steal his face-off to conclude in stride (7-5).
