Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva will gain more experience after beating Frenchwoman Diane Parry than in the previous victory on the sixth racket in the world, Tunisian Onse Jabeur, vice-president of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Alexey Selivanenko told .
On Friday, Andreeva reached the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open, defeating Parry with a score of 1:6, 6:1, 7:6 (10:5). During the third set, the 16-year-old Russian managed to come back to 1:5. On Wednesday, Andreeva defeated Jabeur in straight sets in the second round (6:0, 6:2).
— Such a tough win is even more important for Mirra than against sixth-seeded Jabeur. In the match against Parry there was a situation where we had to catch up after losing the first set, being on the verge of losing the deciding third set. In terms of experience, Andreeva will gain more than in the previous match. “Mirra showed character, proved that he can not only demolish an opponent from the first ball, but also win him back and catch him,” Selivanenko told .
In the next round, Andreeva will face the winner of the match Storm Hunter (Australia) – Barbora Krejcikova (Czech Republic, 9).
