Canada's Fernandez falls to Andreeva in Madrid Open quarterfinals

Andreeva saved three set points and beat Fernandez 7-6(1), 6-3 to reach her first Madrid semifinal.

  • On Tuesday, 18-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva defeated Canadian Leylah Fernandez 7-6, 6-3 in the Mutua Madrid Open quarterfinals, advancing to her maiden Madrid semifinal.
  • During the second set, umpire Nikola Srecec suspended play after a spectator fell in the stands, forcing both players to wait while medical staff attended to the individual.
  • Earlier on Monday, Andreeva faced Anna Bondar on Court 3, complaining to umpire Jennifer Zhang about a foul odor: "It literally smells like bull**** over there," Andreeva said.
  • Questioning her confidence during the Bondar match, Andreeva told her team, "I'm not a champion," and suggested she did not want reassurance from coach Conchita Martinez.
  • Seeking a place in the final, Andreeva will face either top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus or Hailey Baptiste of the United States in her first Madrid semifinal.
