The meeting, played in the second round of the tournament, ended 6-0, 6-2, and was Andreeva's first win over an opponent from the top-10 of the WTA rankings.
Former junior world number two Anastasia Pivovarova explained the unexpected victory of 16-year-old Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva over world number six Ons Jaber at the Australian Open in an interview for Gazeta.Ru.
Pivovarova hypothesized about the weak performance of Jaber, linking it to the loss in the Wimbledon final. Then Jaber lost to Markéta Vondrušová 4:6, 4:6 and characterized this defeat as the most painful in her career.
There is a feeling that Jaber has put some kind of obligation on herself, as if she is Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic and must definitely win a Grand Slam tournament. Because of this, Ons could not even rejoice at reaching the Wimbledon final, although no one prophesied such success, Pivovarova said.
The expert recognized the merits of Mirra Andreeva, emphasizing her talented and bright game.
Earlier, the International Cybersport Federation after a complaint from Ukraine suspended the membership of the Russian CFS.
