Mirra Andreeva was knocked out of the French Open in the third round on Saturday but the teenager's amazing run from qualifying could have ended even before her match against Coco Gauff was completed in three sets.
After wasting two chances to win the first-set tiebreak, the 16-year-old Russian received a warning for hitting the ball into the packed Suzanne Lenglen stands -- a move that could have resulted in her being defaulted and sent packing with a heavy fine.
"That was not the best I could do. It was really bad what I did. Yes, I had thoughts like this , but he just gave me a warning." "I realised that I could really win this match. Then I got a little bit nervous not to lose this opportunity. So I think that was a mistake from me," she said."What happened today, I think she's going to learn from it, for sure. It's frustrating," last year's runner-up Gauff said.While she still breaks the occasional racket in training sessions, the American knows the cost of doing so in tournaments.
