Tennis player Amanda Anisimova halts Mirra Andreeva's triumphant run at the Miami Open.
Taking Down Titans: Anisimova Knocks Out Mirra and Scores Round of 16 Spot at Miami Open
A sensational win for American Amanda Anisimova! The tennis star ended Russian phenom Mirra Andreeva's impressive 13-match winning streak with a thrilling 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-3 victory in the third round of the Miami Open on Sunday night.
This career-defining win marks Anisimova's first time making it to the round of 16 at her local event. In the next round, she'll face off against former US Open champion Emma Raducanu for a place in the quarter-finals.
Raducanu, an unseeded Brit, advanced after a 6-1, 3-0, ret. win over McCartney Kessler, who had to call it a day due to a lower back injury after only 43 minutes of play. These two heavy hitters first faced off earlier this year at the Australian Open, with Raducanu emerging victorious in an intense matchup.
Crashing Andreeva's 'Sunshine Double' Dream
The 17th seed Anisimova, who won this year's first WTA 1000 event at the Qatar Open, outlasted Andreeva in a grueling contest that lasted an exhausting 2 hours and 49 minutes.
The defeat ended the dreams of 17-year-old Andreeva, who was aiming to become the first teenager to complete the 'Sunshine Double,' having won the Indian Wells title just the week before. Andreeva also claimed the WTA 1000 event in Dubai earlier in the year.
In the match, Anisimova showed incredible tenacity, pressing Andreeva in the final set. After Andreeva dominated the second set, Anisimova saved crucial break points to secure the decisive break and eventually claim victory. Anisimova converted four of her nine break points compared to Andreeva's four out of sixteen[1].
