Insolite - Mirra Andreeva rescues a ladybug at Roland-Garros

While she's already competing with the best players in the world, Mirra Andreeva has retained all her teenage innocence (she's 17). So, when the pressure was on, in the last game of her quarter-final against Aryna Sabalenka, the young Russian took the time to fly to the aid of a ladybug she spotted on the court. This is what she told the press conference.

Mirra Andreeva: "In the last game, on her serve - I think the score was 30-15 for her - I saw a ladybug on the ground, on the clay. I said to myself 'I've got to save her'. I picked it up and tried not to think about it. I thought 'this could be a sign' (laughs).

I tried not to think about it, to stay in the game and focused. Not to wait for his mistakes and try to wrap everything up on my own. Maybe it was a little sign (the ladybug symbolizes luck in many countries), because I won the game and the match. It was a good moment for me."
