The afterlife is terrifying! Who would have thought that the 17-year-old Andreeva would end Swiatek's 10-match winning streak at Indian Wells with a score of 2-1 and successfully reach the final of the tournament with 11 consecutive victories!

Andreeva is a superstar in women's tennis, and has been regarded by many people as the successor of women's tennis in the future since her debut, and is optimistic that countless experts can enter the top ten in the world in the future! And at this year's Dubai Tennis Championships, Andreeva also shined, not only winning the women's singles championship of the 1000 tournament for the first time in her career, but also ranking in the top ten in the world for the first time! And this time against Swiatek, Andreeva must prove that her rise is not a fluke!

In the first set, Swiatek took the lead in serving, and the two of them held serve separately and did not give in to each other! In the seventh game, Swiatek saved two consecutive break points to hold serve, but Andreeva, who was behind, was still determined to hold serve. In the ninth game, Andreeva pressed again and broke serve. In the tenth game, Andreeva's service game fluctuated, and Swiatek broke back to 5-5. Then the two sides held their own serves, and the score came to 6-6 to enter the tie-break, and in the tie-break, Andreeva won the tie-break with a small score of 7-1 with a more stable play.

In the second set, Andreeva started the game, but Swiatek broke in the first game, and in the subsequent match, Swiatek played more and more smoothly, and then broke in the fifth and seventh games one after another, and finally won 6-1.

In the deciding set, Andreeva broke serve in the first game and the trailing Swiatek began to have a mental breakdown, arguing with the referee at 1-2 (30-30) in the deciding set, believing that her caddie was moving around as she prepared to receive Andreeva's serve. Then the referee told her, "I'm watching, I see you holding a racket." Andreeva then scored the winning point and held serve. Andreeva then broke again to take a 4-1 lead. Swiatek, who was behind, broke serve in the sixth game and held serve in the seventh game to chase it to 3-4. In the eighth game, Andreeva once again held serve 5-3. In the ninth game, Swiatek had to break serve again and finally won the match 6-3.

We often ask the question: Why was Andreeva able to defeat Swiatek as Zheng Qinwen's underdog, while Zheng Qinwen was so hard to win against Swiatek? Among them, of course, in addition to the player's own style of play, many fans believe that Andreeva's psychology is stronger than Zheng Qinwen. It is reported that this year, Andreeva's team has added a psychotherapist, and the appearance of this psychotherapist has also made Andreeva no longer panic in many backward situations! However, in contrast, Zheng Qinwen's team is almost Coach Riba plays two roles, on the one hand, he has to provide a lot of information about the opponent in the game, and on the other hand, he has to constantly give Zheng Qinwen emotional value, which is no wonder, Zheng Qinwen often shows over-reliance on the coach in the game. Perhaps, for Zheng Qinwen, she should also recruit a psychological counselor?

Andreeva will face Sabalenka, who lost just one game in the other Women's Singles semi-final, beating Australian Open champions Keys.

Interestingly, Sabalenka spoke humorously about the upcoming final in an interview after her win, laughing and saying: "I feel like an old mother playing against her child, oh my God, I'm nine years older than her." She is 2 years younger than my sister and I look at my sister like a child, which is crazy. ”

I have to say that this joke instantly shortened the distance with the fans, and also let everyone see the cute side of Sabalenka outside the stadium. But jokes aside, Sabalenka also gave full affirmation of Andreeva's strength: "It's really crazy. It's crazy that she's able to achieve such a feat at such a young age, it's amazing. We've played a couple of times and it's going to be a good game and I'm looking forward to playing against the youngster." ”

The two have played each other at this year's Australian Open, when Sabalenka swept Andreeva in straight sets, and in that game, Sabalenka used a lot of small-ball tactics, which was also ridiculed by fans as "Zhang Fei embroidery"! In this encounter, I don't know what kind of surprise the two players can bring us! However, as one netizen said, "From the current point of view, the future will definitely be millet spicy, but if this game is only concerned, it should still have to be a higher look at the tiger girl!" ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
