Catch the horse! Andreeva was dissatisfied with the opponent's non-inning pause and quarrel with the referee, and the winning streak was ended by the opponent

Young Andreeva lost and missed the Sunshine Double! In the third round of the Women's Singles, Andreeva fought hard in three sets to defeat Anisimova 6-7(5) 6-2 3-6, ending a 13-match winning streak since Dubai.

This season, Andreeva suddenly ushered in a big explosion, winning two 1000 championships in Dubai and Indian Wells, and also defeated the world No. 1 Sabalenka and the world No. 2 Swiatek in the process. After coming to Miami, Andreeva's state has visibly declined, and the physical fatigue brought about by continuous battles is very obvious, therefore, in this round of facing the local fierce girl Anisimova, many people have sweated for Andreeva, whether she can pass the double test of physical overload and the opponent's tenacious impact, it is a huge test for the 17-year-old girl.

In the first set, Andreeva broke first in the fifth game, but the good times were short-lived, and Anisimova quickly broke back and the two sides returned to the same line. In the ninth game, Andreeva broke again to reach the service game at 5-4, but Anisimova broke four consecutive points in the 10th game to tie the score again. After that, both sides held one game each, and the first set was dragged into a tie-break. In the tie-break, Anisimova won the first set tie-break 7-5 with a more solid attack.

In the second set, Andreeva changed the strategy of the match, played more firmly in attack, and became better on serve, and in the sixth game, Andreeva completed a key break and took a 4-2 lead. In the eighth game, Andreeva continued to press and broke again in the game that Anisimova had to break, and after holding serve strongly, she dragged the match into the deciding set 6-2.

The tiebreaker was even more intense, and Andreeva began to lose control of the match in the face of a drop in fitness and concentration. Anisimova broke serve in the third game and held serve to take a 3-1 lead. However, at the critical moment, the horse catch happened!

In the fourth game of the deciding set, Anisimova was leading 3-1 (40-40) when she suddenly asked the referee to enter the court on Andreeva's serve, citing blisters on her hands that prevented her from holding the racket. However, as the match was not a break at this time, Anisimova's move also ignited Andreeva's anger, and she then stepped forward to reason with referee Zhang Juan. The referee said: "She has the right to do this. The physical therapist will decide whether to treat now or later. Andreeva then responded: "No, no, no, we all know why she called a medical suspension at this time." But in the end, the physiotherapist then decided to treat Anisimova right away.

After a medical timeout, Andreeva saved two break points and held serve all the way to the crucial ninth game, where Anisimova broke again in the game where Andreeva had no way back to win the deciding set 6-3.

After the game, despite Andreeva's displeasure, she still shook hands with Anisimova, and it should have been when the two shook hands, Andreeva also knew that Anisimova was indeed blistered. And judging from some of the broadcast footage from the scene, when the physiotherapist confirmed that Anisimova was being treated, her hand did look like it had a visible blister, and the skin had fallen off, which looked very serious. However, can such a sudden injury interrupt the game? This still sparked controversy among netizens.

Some netizens said, "This is reminiscent of today's Badosa match, the medical timeout of the two matches is the same, at that time, Badosa applied for a medical timeout due to a back injury attack at 0-1 (15-40) in the second set, which was also a sudden suspension during the match, and the referee agreed." However, it is worth mentioning that after the medical timeout, Bardosa's serve was greatly affected, but at the same time, Towson's rhythm was lost. Many fans expressed their displeasure with the medical timeout. In professional tennis, any medical timeout can be ill-intentioned, and one of the embarrassing reasons for the blisters given by Anisimova is that this little thing may not completely affect your match, and you can call a medical timeout after the game is over. ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
