Andreeva

Qualified for the quarterfinals where she will face Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, Mirra Andreeva continues her impressive run. Having already won the WTA 1000 in Dubai last month, the Russian keeps astonishing the crowds, much to her own surprise:

"Honestly, I don’t know why people support me so much, my results in the United States have never been very good.

Last year, I lost here in the first round. At the US Open, I lost twice in the second round, so I don’t know why people support me so much, but it feels good."

Touched by the atmosphere, the Russian also mentioned the impact of the crowd on her game during her match against reigning Kazakh champion Rybakina:

"The people here are very energetic, I love seeing them support me and feeling that energy. In a way, they light me up, they make the game so much easier."
