The current season in Russian tennis is marked by an unspoken confrontation between the Andreev sisters. The first at the level of the WTA tournaments was the youngest, Mirra, who is only 16 years old. But how! At Roland Garros and Wimbledon, young Andreeva was only a couple of steps away from reaching the most decisive stages of the tournaments.
By the way, at the tournament in Lausanne, Switzerland, he already managed to play the role of the seed. Erica’s success so far is more modest. But she has a hard time keeping up, and as Mirra prepares to start the US Open tournament in Cleveland, Andreeva Sr. began her journey in qualifying for the US Open.
In the first round, Erica was able to seriously surprise tennis fans around the world. Her rival was the more experienced Italian Sarah Errani, former world first racket and owner of the doubles slam of her career. But Andreeva did not seem to notice the superstar of recent years on the court. Dozhav Errani in the first game, in the second set did not give Sara a single game, hanging the so-called shuttlecock on her.

But the beginning of the meeting was difficult for Andreeva. At the beginning of the match, the tennis players exchanged won tickets with confidence.
