"It gives me a boost of energy," Andreeva speaks about French fans

Mirra Andreeva advanced to the third round of Roland-Garros by defeating Ashlyn Krueger. In a post-match interview, she addressed the French crowd: "Honestly, I can say it's incredible to play here in front of you.

Sometimes, I struggle a bit when you chant ‘Popopo, olé’ before my serve, but it’s nice because it gives me a boost of energy."

She will face the crowd again this Saturday against Yulia Putintseva or Joanna Garland.
