Tennis<\/a> star Mirra Andreeva had a total meltdown on the court after losing to Katerina Siniakova 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the Round of 32 at Indian Wells in Coachella Valley on Monday.<\/p>\n

Andreeva, 18, entered the tournament as the defending champion,<\/a> but her emotions got the best of her throughout her match with Siniakova.<\/p>\n

Andreeva rallied from a 0-3 deficit to win the first set 6-4, but things spiraled from there. After she lost the second set in a tiebreaker, she took out her frustrations on her racket, earning a code violation. During the tiebreak, while smashing her racket, she asked her team to leave the court.<\/p>\n

“It was to myself, to everyone, basically,” Andreeva said, according to the New York Post.<\/a> “I mean, after the loss, I just get very angry, so I say those things sometimes to myself. I mean, first to myself, of course, but then, yeah, it was just anger coming out, just a lot of emotions. Not really towards anyone.”<\/p>\n

Andreeva expressed regret for her actions after the loss when she later spoke to the press following her doubles win with partner Victoria Mboko.<\/p>\n

“Well, of course, I can say that there were a lot of emotions that I was going through after the loss,” Andreeva said. “But, of course, I\u2019m not really proud of how I managed it. I\u2019m not really proud of how I handled it in the end.”<\/p>\n
