After failing in the third round at Roland-Garros, Mirra Andreeva made it to Wimbledon at the expense of Anastasia Potapova. Jessica Pegula validated her ticket for the quarter-finals at the expense of Lesia Tsurenko and will find Marketa Vondrousova.
Mirra Andreeva continues to make a splash at Wimbledon. The Russian, only 16 years old, validated her ticket for the round of 16 on the London lawn. After stopping in the third round at Roland-Garros once morest Cori Gauff, the Krasnoyarsk native made sure to do better at the expense of her compatriot Anastasia Potapova in a meeting that had been postponed this Saturday due to rain and night. These are two nervous players who made their entrance on Court n°3. Indeed, the first three games ended in a break. The 102nd in the world was thus able to take the lead, confirmed by a new game of opposing service won. Leading then four games to one, Mirra Andreeva saw the shutouts follow one another and it was therefore on her first set point that she was able to turn in the lead.. On her way, the young Russian player once once more broke Anastasia Potapova before seeing the latter react. Winning four games in a row, the 23rd in the world took control on the scoreboard. Mirra Andreeva got back on track to immediately return to height as the break points multiplied. After saving two set points, it was on her first match point that she put an end to the suspense (6-2, 7-5 in 1h36′). Madison Keys, seeded number 25, will be on her way this Monday.

Pegula completes its collection
Jessica Pegula, meanwhile, made short work of Lesia Tsurenko in the round of 16. A meeting that started as a nightmare for the Ukrainian. Missing an opportunity to take the service of the American, Lesia Tsurenko twice conceded the break on the two occasions obtained by the world number 4. This allowed Jessica Pegula to quickly lead five games to nothing. Missing a first set point on the engagement of the 60th in the world, the American finally sealed this first set on her serve. Maintaining the pressure on Lesia Tsurenko, Jessica Pegula took the lead at the end of the first game of the second set. A second break allowed him to lead five games to one. It was then that the Ukrainian raised her head, erasing one of her two late service games. Launched into a marathon game and following saving the first two match points, the 60th player in the world had to call for a medical time-out due to foot problems. As soon as the restart, Jessica Pegula obtained a third match point which was good for a few millimeters on an attack along the line. After having known the quarter-finals in Australia, at Roland-Garros and at the US Open, the seeded number 4 completes his collection at Wimbledon (6-1, 6-3 in 1h13 ‘). Her adversary for a place in the last four will be Marketa Vondrousova, who beat her compatriot Marie Bouzkova (2-6, 6-4, 6-3 in 2h12′).
