Magical prank maker Mirra Andreeva Continue to impose your identity on Wimbledon.
In his debut at Central Stadium, Andreeva made a strong serve and coveted shot that brought himself into history.
Andreeva, 18 Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-3 became the youngest woman to enter the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 18 years.
It was a full-scale performance of the Indian Wells champion, who scored seven breakthrough points on six breakthrough Navarros.
Since then, Andreeva Nicole Vaidisovan 2007 – This is the first teenager to reach the quarterfinals Victoria Azarenka and Sabine Lisicki In 2009.
After that, Andreeva admitted that there were a lot of thoughts in her mind: the pressure to play for the first time at the Central Stadium for the major quarterfinals – and played live in front of her tennis hero Roger Federer, who sat on the Royal Box with his wife Mirka, watching the whole 75-minute game. In fact, Andreeva said she tried to play the blind to avoid looking at the Federer family and reduce the prospect of eating her nerves.
“It was crazy to be honest, and I was very nervous before the first time I played at Central,” Andreva said. “I really tried not to look over there and hit the ball.
“I saw Roger and Milkar at 4-1. Honestly, it means a lot to me that you came to see me. It’s my dream to see you in real life, so when I saw you both, I was really nervous and I was so happy.
“I just want to say you look beautiful. I love your clothes.
Victory Vault 2024 Roland Garros Semi-finals away from Wimbledon semi-finals. To make progress, she will have to defeat the Swiss Outstanding Belinda Benciche once worked with Federer to compete in the Hopman Cup championship.
Olympic gold medal champion Bencic defeats No. 18 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6 (4), 6-4 heading to her girl Wimbledon quarterfinals.
U.S. Open player Navarro won the SW19 quarterfinal for the second time in a row, but struggled to produce her best tennis today. The nervous Navarro sometimes falls off her forehand, and when she does, Andreeva sometimes burns her with a feft touch while the seductive drop shot.
The tenth seed Navarro set off and left 13 seeds Amanda Anisimova When lonely American women are still standing in this singles field.
Anisimova, the 13th seed, will play the semi-finals tomorrow in pre-French Open finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
In the final few games Andreeva repeatedly deployed the dropper to a court area she didn’t want to visit. At one point, Andreeva used a dropper combination to send Americans all the way to the back wall.
Andreeva took her tenth career top ten victory, including her sixth place this season.
The teenager shared what she did by playing a mind game with herself. After Andreeva switched to the match point, the crowd at the Central Court burst out – just seeing the Russian teenager walking back to baseline, ready to play another point.
Later, Andreeva shared the mental tricks she had played with: repeatedly telling herself that she was going bankrupt rather than cruising.
“Honestly, I’ve been telling myself that I’m facing a break,” Andreva said. “I tried to tell myself that I was not a person with grades. I was very upset.
“I think it helped me stay focused and I ended up forgetting the score and I was happy. I did because I think I would be more nervous about the match point.”
Before Andreeva plays Bencic’s final quarterpoint, she plans to work in her second job under the moonlight: Coach.
Andreeva said she was looking forward to a reverse coaching role, coaching her own coach, 1994 Wimbledon Championship Conchita Martinez The legendary figure will double when the Spanish plays the legend tomorrow.
“Yes, I’m going to finally get revenge,” Andriva joked about coach Kangjita. “I think she’s going to start tomorrow. So I’m already thinking about the poster I’ll make and hope some people will help me.”

Four months ago, Andreeva, then 17, performed the world number one performance in the BNP Paribas Open finals with a record of 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, and won her second consecutive WTA WTA 1000 championship in the BNP Paribas Open finals with a record of 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Now, Andreeva, who has not yet surrendered in four Wimbledon victories, is focused on keeping that top of the list.
