In a Wimbledon 2026 full of surprises, another one is added. This time it is the turn of the reigning Roland Garros champion and one of the contenders to win the title, Mirra Andreeva. The Russian, who started strong but faded, fell to the Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova, who advances to the third round of the London Grand Slam after staging a comeback and clinching a victory with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 6-4, after two hours and 44 minutes. Her next opponent will be Nikola Barkuntova.

The surprising defeat of Mirra Andreeva in the second round of Wimbledon 2026

The protege of Conchita Martínez has paid the price for the exhaustion caused by her success in Paris. She already showed signs of fatigue in her first match on the grass tour, where she was defeated in her Bad Homburg debut. She managed to recover in her Wimbledon debut with a trouble-free victory over Magda Linette. But today, she faced Krejcikova, who knows the grass peculiarities very well and efficiently leverages her strengths.

Although she started the match a bit colder than the Russian, Krejcikova gradually found her rhythm and quickly took a 5-2 lead in the second set. Andreeva fought back and leveled the score at 5-5, but her comeback fell short, and in the end, the Czech player won the second set, forcing the match into a decisive set.

What a match from Barbora Krejcikova 👏

There, Andreeva started to struggle with her game, experiencing one of her disconnected moments, as Krejcikova broke to edge closer to victory. In fact, she had a 5-3, 40-0 lead to seal the victory, but the Russian, with nothing to lose, saved seven match points to break back and serve to level the score at 5-5. Despite the determination of the 19-year-old, the Czech player did not falter. The destiny of the match was already written, and it was Krejcikova who emerged victorious.
