Mirra Andreeva vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: Match Preview

Russian tennis sensation Mirra Andreeva has had a great season this year. The 16-year-old shocked everyone when she reached the third round at her Grand Slam debut with the French Open earlier this year. The Russian gave a tough fight to sixth seed, Coco Gauff, at the event, winning the first set following a thrilling encounter. Andreeva, however, lost the match to Gauff, scoring 7-6, 1-6, 1-6 over three sets. She also reached the fourth-round at Wimbledon where she lost to US Open semifinalist, Madison Keys.

Andreeva made it to the second round match at the Flushing Meadows where she lost to the eventual champion, Coco Gauff, with her loss in a two-setter. Her exceptional performance on court garnered her praise from the 19-year-old American herself. The teen is taking part in her first-ever tournament ever since the US Open concluded.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, on the other hand, made it to the semi-final round at the Toray Pan Pacific Open event in Japan where she lost to her compatriot, Veronika Kudermetova, in a three-setter following a close clash. The 32-year-old will be playing her first match against Andreeva following her defeat in Japan. She availed a performance bye to enter directly into the Round of 32 match to be played today.

Mirra Andreeva vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: Match Prediction

Although ranked No.60 in the world currently, Andreeva lacks the experience her compatriot, World No.62, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova possesses. Given this, by ousting tenth-seeded Barbora Krejcikova in her latest match, the 16-year-old has shown undeniable mettle and an incredible skillset earlier this week. She stunned her opponent, defeating the Czech over two sets. Andreeva emerged victorious with a score of 6-2, 6-2, demolishing the former World No.2.

Pavlyuchenkova, at the same time, played at the Toray Pan Pacific Open recently. Like Andreeva, Pavlyuchenkova too, lost her second-round match at the US Open to former World No.3, Elina Svitolina, scoring 7-5, 4-6, 4-6 over three sets. The 32-year-old’s good performance in Japan recently will likely ease-off any pressure she might have prior to the match.

The two’s head-to-head score stands at 0-0 since the two have never faced each other on-court. The upcoming clash between the two Russians will make for a thrilling battle of generations. Both Andreeva and Pavlyuchenkova are capable of ousting the other out of the tournament. If Andreeva can repeat her last show of skills on-court, she stands a good chance to win the upcoming encounter.

Match Prediction: Mirra Andreeva to win in a three-setter.
