LONDON : Mirra Andreeva's fairytale Wimbledon debut came to an end after the 16-year-old Russian was beaten 3-6 7-6 6-2 by Madison Keys, who battled back from a set and a break down to win the fourth-round tie on Monday.
The 28-year-old Keys began the match in typically aggressive fashion, firing off powerful returns and groundstrokes to break serve and go 2-0 ahead. Keys continue to commit a stream of unforced errors as Andreeva raced to a 3-0 lead in the second, but the 25th seed upped her game, putting the match back on serve with a delicate left-handed winner and forcing a tiebreak, which she won.
