Mirra Andreeva made headlines at Wimbledon 2025 by reaching her first quarter-final in a dramatic fashion. The young Russian tennis star admitted she had "completely forgotten the score" during her match against Emma Navarro, which she won 6-2, 6-3.

A Dominant Performance

Andreeva showcased her prowess on the court, holding strong in rallies and dictating play from the baseline. She had three match points on Navarro's serve and converted the first one with ease, thanks to a netted shot from her opponent.

The Moment of Realization

After the match, Andreeva revealed her unique mental strategy: "I kept telling myself that I am facing break point and that I'm down in the score to help me stay focused," she said. "But in the end, I completely forgot the score. I am glad that I did it because I would have been three times more nervous on a match point."

Coaching and Future Prospects

Andreeva's coach, Conchita Martinez, a former Wimbledon champion, has been instrumental in her development. Martinez, who won Wimbledon in 1994, has been guiding Andreeva through her Grand Slam journey. The duo will reverse roles this week when Andreeva coaches Martinez in the legends doubles event at SW19.

Next Challenge

Andreeva will face Switzerland's Belinda Bencic for a place in her first Wimbledon semi-final. Bencic, who reached the quarter-finals after an emotional victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova, will be a tough opponent.

Swiatek's Dominance

Meanwhile, former world number one Iga Swiatek continued her impressive run at Wimbledon with a dominant 6-4, 6-1 victory against Denmark's Clara Tauson. Swiatek, who has been in excellent form on grass this year, will face Liudmila Samsonova in the quarter-finals.

Bencic's Emotional Victory

Belinda Bencic was in tears after reaching her maiden Wimbledon quarter-final. She had lost to Alexandrova just two weeks ago but held her nerve in the high-pressure moments to secure a 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 victory.

Looking Ahead

As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Andreeva and Bencic as they battle for a place in the semi-finals. With both players in top form, it promises to be an exciting match.
