Mirra Andreeva shares her feelings of nervousness before her quarterfinal match against Sabalenka at the 2024 Roland Garros, who had previously defeated her multiple times. Mirra, who was playing on a big court for the first time, expected the crowd to favor Sabalenka and tried to stay focused by playing point by point and ignoring the score. In the third set, Mirra spotted a ladybug on the court and used it as motivation to stay aggressive and keep playing her game. The presence of the ladybug seemed to bring her luck as she went on to win the match and advance to the semi-finals. Mirra expresses her gratitude for the interviewer’s compliment and thanks them for acknowledging her upset win.
