Mirra Andreeva helps injured opponent Anastasia Potapova before finishing her US Open victory
What happened
Mirra Andreeva remembers looking up to Anastasia Potapova well before they became rivals on the court. The French Open champion helped Potapova up so she could get treatment, then finished off a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 victory that sent her to the quarterfinals in Flushing Meadows for the first time. “It’s not the perfect end to the match,” Andreeva said.
