Mirra Andreeva recently teamed up with compatriot Daniil Medvedev to take on the pair of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa head-to-head and surprisingly, prevailed over the duo in a breathtaking mixed doubles rally.
The 16-year-old teenage talent did not shy away from a challenge at the 2023 World Tennis League (WTL) summit clash and left the Russian pro as a spectator after she single-handedly overpowered the circuit’s top competitors, Tsitsipas and Badosa.
At the World Tennis League, an exhibition event underway in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Mirra Andreeva put on a thrilling show after showcasing an amazing rally against Team Kites contestants Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa.
During the enticing match, a to-and-fro rally was built between the Eagles and Kites, which was restricted to just Andreeva and the pair of Tsitsipas and Badosa. Although Medvedev was able to return one shot between the rallies, it was the 16-year-old who sealed the point after producing an amazing winner.
The summit clash of the WTL witnessed the victory of Tsisipas-Badosa, representing Team Kites. This victory marked the Greek’s second victory over the former World No. 1 Russian at the exhibition show in Abu Dhabi.
Daniil Medvedev admits having a higher success rate against Novak Djokovic than against Rafael Nadal
Daniil Medvedev recently commented on his success rate against Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic and admitted the same being less against Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
In a recent conversation with ‘The National’, the one-time Grand Slam champion provided insight about facing the Spaniard as he prepares for his much-anticipated comeback in the 2024 season.
It's kind of the same like with Novak; it's just that all the seasons that he played he wins a lot of matches and doesn't lose many. It's very tough to beat him. Actually, with Rafa, maybe I even had even less success than with Novak in a way.Medvedev told The National.
It is worth noting that the Russian has faced Nadal six times on the Tour, with the former losing five of those encounters against the 22-time Grand Slam champion. Meanwhile, his head-to-head score with the 36-year-old Serbian stands at 15-10, with the latter leading the scoreboard.
