Mirra Andreeva will step onto Wimbledon’s grass courts next week without a single grass-court victory in 2024. The Roland-Garros champion’s grass swing began and ended in the first round at Bad Homburg, where Ekaterina Alexandrova dismantled her 6-1, 6-2 in 56 minutes. Andreeva’s grass preparation included just two tournaments—Bad Homburg and Berlin—where she lost to Daria Kasatkina in the quarterfinals. She exited Berlin with a 3-2 record on grass this year, failing to build momentum heading into the Grand Slam. Her lone grass-court win came in Berlin against Jule Niemeier, a result that now feels like a footnote. The 17-year-old’s lack of grass-court experience is exposed by these early exits. Wimbledon’s fast, low-bouncing surface demands precision and aggression, traits Andreeva has shown on clay but not yet consistently on grass. Her serve, a liability in the Bad Homburg loss, remains a work in progress under the Wimbledon pressure cooker. Alexandrova, ranked 22nd, used Andreeva’s unforced errors to dictate play. The Russian converted 6 of 12 break points and served out the match with ease. Andreeva managed just 3 winners to Alexandrova’s 19, a stat that underscores the gulf in match sharpness. Andreeva’s camp has downplayed the grass-court struggles, pointing to her clay-court form as a better predictor of her potential at Wimbledon. But the numbers don’t lie: she’s 0-1 in grass finals this year and 0-2 in grass semifinals. The question isn’t just whether she can win matches, but whether she can survive the first week. What’s next: Andreeva will face either Lesia Tsurenko or Elina Avanesyan in the first round at Wimbledon on Monday. A win would silence early doubters; another early exit would force deeper questions about her readiness for the elite grass-court swing. ## Why this matters Andreeva’s grass-court struggles raise concerns about her Wimbledon chances. The tournament’s fast surface and high-pressure environment demand match sharpness she hasn’t shown this season. A deep run would validate her clay-court breakthrough, while an early exit could expose the limits of her grass-court adaptation. ## Frequently asked ### How many grass-court matches has Mirra Andreeva played in 2024?
