Honored coach of Russia Alexander Kalivod called the defeat offensive Mirra Andreeva Since Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic during the fourth round match of the Australian Open.
On Sunday, 16-year-old Andreeva lost to 9th seed Krejcikova of the Czech Republic 6:4, 3:6, 2:6. Last year, the Russian played the final of the Australian Open among juniors against her compatriot Alina Korneeva and became vice-champion of the tournament.
— What Andreeva did in this tournament at the age of 16 is already very cool. Reaching the fourth round is also an achievement. The simplest and most banal thing that can be said about her defeat in the match against Krejcikova: Andreeva was tired. As for the game: in a good sense, primitive things were happening on the pitch on both sides. An absolutely simple tactic from the very experienced Barbora, who used several combinations. She stuck to a very simple option: serve until the first square. Judging by the speed of the ball, she didn’t look for aces or force things.
Barbora was the owner of the havcourt. After such a successful and gentle welcome, she did what she wanted. It’s a shame that Mirra did not have some kind of countermeasure against the Czech tennis player, who also managed to impose the rhythm of the game on her, “RT Kalivoda quotes.
In 2023, Andreeva reached the third round at the French Open, the fourth round at Wimbledon, and the second round at the US Open. The Russian was recognized as the 2023 Rookie of the Year by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA).
