It's been four years since 15-year-old American Coco Gauff stormed on the tennis scene with a win over Venus Williams at Wimbledon. In similar fashion, 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva is commanding attention.
The Russian punched her ticket to the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her young career Sunday with a 6-2, 7-5 win over No. 21 seed Anastasia Potapova at Wimbledon.
In just her second career Grand Slam, the qualifier became the youngest woman to advance the last 16 at Wimbledon since Gauff's breakout moment in 2019. She's also the third-youngest woman to reach the Round of 16 at Wimbledon in the last 25 years Andreeva showed flashes early in Sunday's match, breaking Potapova three times in the opening set. In the second set of the match, which was held over from Saturday due to rainy conditions, Andreeva rallied from a 4-1 deficit to eliminate her 22-year-old competition in three wins.
