Athletistic/Tennis. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who represented Czechoslovakia and the United States and holds 59 Grand Slam titles, has included 17-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva among the shadow favourites for the US Open.

“Who could be the dark horse at the US Open? Mirra Andreeva is really shining. She is seeded 21st in the tournament. It’s incredible how quickly she has reached this level! She is only 17 years old. She gained confidence after almost beating Iga Swiatek in Cincinnati. Her sister Erica is not far behind either,” Navratilova is quoted by the WTA press service.

Additionally, Navratilova cited Canadian Leila Fernandez, American Danielle Collins and Japanese Naomi Osaka as possible surprises.

  • Erika Andreeva reached the second round of the US Open
