Mirra Andreeva failed to clinch her second WTA title after losing to her fellow Russian Daria Kasatkina in three sets at the Ningbo Open. The 17-year-old was in tears after the defeat on Sunday (October 20), but after a day’s rest, she shared a social media post to sum up the WTA 500 final.

Andreeva has been the most consistent teenager this year in women’s tennis. The Russian reached the semifinals of the French Open in June before claiming doubles silver at the Paris Olympics the following month. She earned a place in the final of the Ningbo Open after Karolina Muchova was forced to retire in the second set.

Andreeva failed to earn any points in the opening set against Kasatkina in the final. However, she bounced back in the second set to force the match into a decider. The teenager made most of the momentum and took a 3-0 lead. However, a few faults led Kasatkina back into the match, who went on to win 6-0, 4-6, 6-4.
