Andreeva's tears at Wimbledon. The pressure turned out to be too much
The defeat against Krejcikova broke the teenage Roland Garros winner. Her reaction at the press conference shows the dark side of tennis.
Mirra Andreeva, the winner of Roland Garros, could not stand the pressure during the press conference after her defeat in the second round of Wimbledon, where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova 6:4, 6:3, and her tears showed a drastic contrast to the Paris success. The 18-year-old Russian lost to the experienced Czech, which was a painful experience after recently celebrating her Grand Slam title. In contrast to the euphoria in Paris, in London came the bitterness of elimination.
When Andreeva stood in front of the microphones, emotions took over. The player couldn't stop crying as she tried to describe what happened on the court. The organizers, seeing her despair, offered tissues and suggested interrupting the media meeting to allow her to collect her thoughts and control her trembling voice.
