Qualified for the round of 16 of the Australian Open, as in 2024, following her victory against Magdalena Frech (6−2, 1–6, 6–2), the young Russian prodigy, Mirra Andreeva, only aged 17 years old, will meet up with an old acquaintance this Sunday.
Indeed, the 15e world player will be opposed to the double title holder and world number 1, Aryna Sabalenka, against whom she has always lost after four confrontations, the last of which two weeks ago in the semi‐finals of the Brisbane tournament (6–3 defeat , 6–2).
And obviously, she is not delighted as she confided in the post-match press conference.
“Honestly, I'm so tired of playing against her. It's like, I don't know. I don't know. I've already faced her four or five times. So, yes, that's a lot. So what can I say? Here we go again. I know it's probably going to be an entertaining match and of course I'm going to do everything I can. I will give the best of myself. I think it will be interesting to watch. So we'll see what happens on Sunday. »
