Former junior world number two Anastasia Pivovarova said the 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva If she missed her chance at the last Australian Open, she could have reached the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Andreeva reached the fourth round of the tournament, where she lost to Czech Barbora Krejcikova in three sets with a score of 6:4, 3:6, 2:6.
— To be honest, I expected Mirra to win this match, because the Czech tennis player was clearly out of shape or worried about injury. The way Krejcikova played in this tournament was far from her best form. And against Mirra she also played completely different tennis. I went to the net and even then I made mistakes on simple balls and made a lot of unforced errors.
Mirra definitely should have won this match. But, apparently, she herself was tired, because her game was unstable. However, I think she missed a very big opportunity. It is likely that Mirra was not yet mentally ready to overcome this stage,” Pivovarova said, as quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
Andreeva is ranked 35th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings.
