On Thursday, in the semi-final of Roland-Garros, the 17-year-old Russian lost to the 28-year-old Italian Jasmine Paolini (12th seed) with a score of 3:6, 1:6.
“I think Andreeva could not cope with the state she was in. It was not just excitement, but a much more complex state of the nervous system. She found herself in such a situation for the first time and Mirra had difficulty overcoming it.
Mirra excelled at Roland Garros. But I think that the fuss that arose around her after her victory over Sabalenka, the special attention, the noise of information simply destabilized Mirra,” Dmitrieva told .
For Andreeva, it was the first semi-final of a Grand Slam tournament in her career. Paolini’s opponent in the final will be world number one Iga Szwiatek of Poland, who beat American Cori Gauff on Thursday.
