The seventh seed at this year’s Wimbledon, Mirra Andreeva, continues her fine run as she takes on Belinda Bencic on the second day of quarterfinal action today. Having already made it to the quarterfinals for the first time, both players will have one eye on the semifinals.

Mirra Andreeva Looking for Title Number 3 This Year

The Russian teenager is having an excellent season so far, winning two titles earlier in the year at Dubai and Indian Wells. However, she couldn’t get past the quarterfinals at any of her three events on clay.

Andreeva entered Wimbledon with a 1-2 record on grass, but since then, she has looked sharp as she has progressed to this stage without dropping a set. The Russian has generally been consistent on first serve, and at the net, winning nearly 70% of the points in each match. Her defensive skills have stood out in the previous matches as well.

Absolutely breathless 💨

Belinda Bencic Playing Well Following Recent Injury Break

Veteran player Belinda Bencic suffered an arm injury in May this year, which forced her to retire from the Italian Open. After aggravating the same injury, she opted out of the French Open and lost in her first and only match on grass at the Bad Homburg Open prior to Wimbledon.

She had an easy first-round win against Alycia Parks, dropping only 3 games, but then went the distance against Elsa Jacquemot and Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the second and third rounds, respectively. Bencic then played a solid match in the fourth round against Ekaterina Alexandrova as she converted 4 of 6 break point opportunities.

What a moment ✨

I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles.
