JAKARTA Three Grand Slam finalists, Ons Jabeur, ran aground in the second round of the 2024 Australian Open after losing against 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva.
Jabeur was confirmed to have been eliminated from the season's opening Grand Slam event after losing two straight sets 0-6 and 2-6 at Melbourne Park Main Square, Rod Laver Arena, Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
This is Andreeva's first win over the world's top 10 tennis players. Jabeur, who is the finalist of the 2022 and 2023 Grand Slam Wimbledon and the 2022 US Open, is the sixth in the world today.
"It was one of my dreams to play against Jabeur because I really liked his way of playing. It means winning this game," Andreeva said after the game.
Andreeva leads the latest generation of young players who oppose expectations. Last year, the tennis player was still competing at the junior level at the Australian Open.

At that time, he managed to reach the final round, but then lost against fellow Russian tennis player and his best friend, Alina Korneeva.
He then competed with senior players at three Grand Slams afterwards. As a result, he reached the third round at Roland Garros, last 16 at Wimbledon, and the second round at the US Open.
"Maybe this is the best match (in my career). The first set, I didn't expect to play this well. The second set wasn't bad either. For me, it was an incredible match. I am very happy with the level I showed today on the pitch," said Andreeva.
Andreeva merupakan petenis berusia 16 tahun yang tersisa dalam pesawat di Melbourne. Nama-ranggarannya, seperti Brenda Fruhvirtova dan Alina Korneeva, tidak mampu memberikan kejutan saat menghadapi lawan-lawan yang lebih terkenal.
Fruhvirtova surrendered in the hands of defending champion Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 3-6 and 2-6. Korneeva was stopped by the 10th seed from Brazil, Beatriz Haddad Maia.
