LONDON - Mirra Andreeva is becoming one of the stories of Wimbledon after the 16-year-old Russian qualifier advanced to the fourth round on her debut at the Championships,
Having made her grand slam breakthrough on clay at the French Open with a run to the third round earlier this season, Andreeva has gone one step further and is winning fans at the All England Club.
Incredibly, Andreeva had not played a professional match on grass before she arrived at Wimbledon qualifying last week, but won three matches in a row to reach the main draw.
A super-fan of Andy Murray, Andreeva will attempt to take inspiration from her hero when she tries to reach the quarter-finals against Madison Keys on Monday.
