Teen phenomenon Mirra Andreeva aggressively punched herself out of fury before sobbing uncontrollably. On her Wimbledon debut, she advanced to the fourth round with a stunning 6-2, 7-5 victory over fellow countrywoman Anastasia Potapova.
Andreeva vented her rage on her own thigh as she made her way back to the chair behind 5-4 in the second set after failing to break Potapova’s serve despite seven break points at 4-4.
