Mirra Andreeva, a 17-year-old rising star from Russia, has made a sensational run to the semifinals of the French Open! 🎉🎾 On Wednesday at Roland Garros in Paris, Andreeva came back from a set down to upset No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus with a thrilling 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 victory.
This unseeded teenager is making history, becoming the youngest player in over 25 years to advance to a Grand Slam semifinal. Talk about breaking records! 🏆 She's also the only unseeded player among the last four standing at this year's French Open.
Andreeva's journey to the semis has been nothing short of epic. On her way, she knocked out two top-seeded opponents: No. 19 Victoria Azarenka and No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, both from Belarus. Her fearless play is inspiring fans around the world! 🌍
"I always play the way I want to play. We have a plan with my coach for the match, but after I forget everything, and when I play a match, I don't have any thoughts in my head," Andreeva said with a smile. "So maybe I would say that my strength could be that I just play how I want to play and I do whatever I want to do." 😄
Next up, Andreeva will face No. 14 seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy in the semifinals on Thursday. Paolini secured her spot by defeating No. 4 Elena Rybakina of Russia 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. It's gonna be an exciting clash! 🎾🔥
