Athletistic / Tennis. Former world number three, Russian tennis player Nadezhda Petrova, shared her opinion on the performance of 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva at the US Open. The Russian tennis player ended her performance in the second round, losing to American Ashlyn Kruger.

Petrova admitted that she did not expect such a result. Andreeva was dubbed the “dark horse” of the tournament, ranking her among the shadow favorites.

“For me, Mirra Andreeva’s exit from the US Open in the second round was a sensation. I was sure that she would compete with Luda Samsonova to reach the fourth round. Mirra had more or less one of the good draws compared to our other tennis players. Therefore, this departure was also unexpected for her, because she looked good in the tournaments preceding the US Open.

But a tennis player ran into her and showed a good and stable game. Therefore, Mirra could not do anything and somehow resist. Kruger tries to play fast and very tight games, but Mirra does not like to play this kind of tennis. She needs some maneuverability. Kruger simply did not let Andreeva play tennis, “Championship quotes Petrova.
