Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva advanced to the third round of Wimbledon 2023. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
In the second round, the 16-year-old athlete, ranked 102nd in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) ranking, met with the 11th racket of the world, Barbora Kreychikova. In the second set, with the score 6:4, 4:0 in favor of Andreeva, the Czech athlete refused to continue the fight due to a leg injury. In the next round, Andreeva will play with the winner of the confrontation between compatriot Anastasia Potapova and Kai Juvan from Slovenia.
In May, Andreeva reached the third round of her debut Roland Garros. Then the Russian woman played for the first time in the main draw of the Grand Slam tournament.
On March 31, the UK Lawn Tennis Association, which organizes Wimbledon, allowed Russian and Belarusian tennis players who signed a “declaration of neutrality” to participate in the 2023 tournament. Later, information appeared that the athletes agreed to this condition.
