\n Mirra Andreeva’s title defense at Indian Wells ended with a loss, a smashed racket, and what appeared to be an expletive-laced sendoff to the crowd. The 18-year-old Russian top-10 player, who lifted the BNP Paribas Open trophy in California last year, fell 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 to Czech player Katerina Siniakov\u00e1, who is ranked outside the top 40, in the third round on Tuesday, then walked off Stadium 1 gesturing and seemingly mouthing, “f— you all,” as some fans booed, per the New York Times<\/a>. “I’m not really proud of how I handled it in the end,” Andreeva later acknowledged. The match underscored the growing tension between Andreeva’s rapid rise and her ability to cope with expectation. \n <\/p>\n


\n She clawed back from 0-3 down to take the first set and repeatedly surged when she was trailing, but tightened when ahead, converting just 7 of 26 break points and finishing with “twice as many unforced errors as winners,” per the Times. The defending champion smashed her racket after a missed swing volley in the second-set tiebreak and asked her team, including coach Conchita Mart\u00ednez, to leave. After a net-cord winner ended it for Siniakov\u00e1, Andreeva threw her racket, then stormed off the court, leaving some fans’ mouths hanging open, per Sports Illustrated<\/a>. The emotional exit adds to a string of pressure-filled defeats, including another rocky title defense in Dubai that left Andreeva sobbing. \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mirra Andreeva’s title defense at Indian Wells ended with a loss, a smashed racket, and what appeared…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520102,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[149588,61277,99,428,1764],"class_list":["post-520101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-indian-wells","tag-pressure","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
