Russian 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva said she had surprised even herself after playing breathtaking tennis in a straight-sets demolition of Tunisia's Ons Jabeur. "I'm really inspired by Ons. Before I started to play on the WTA Tour I always watched her matches. Now I had a chance to play her and in the first set I showed some amazing tennis. I didn't expect that from myself," Andreeva said.

"I'm a bit more mature than I was before. Last year I was 15, this year I've changed a lot and I think you can see that on the court." READ MORE:
