Diane Parry vs Mirra Andreeva – Match Predictions
Contents
As Diane Parry and Mirra Andreeva clash for the first time in their respective careers, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Diane Parry to Win a Set
Although Diane Parry and Mirra Andreeva are both under 21, these are two players we expect great things from in the future. On one hand, Diane Parry made it through to the maind draw as a wildcard; but despite being the underdog, she knocked out 25th seeded Anhelina Kalinina in the first round. The French player has enjoyed some fine form lately, winning six matches in a row; she won the Paris Challenger event just two weeks ago.
On the other hand, Mirra Andreeva had a 16 match winning streak at some point this year. Despite being just 16 years old, she has beaten players like Leylah Annie Fernandez, Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Magda Linette on the WTA Tour this year. It’s worth mentioning that Andreeva went through the qualifying rounds, and is currently on a four-match winning streak. However, given how well Diane Parry has played in recent weeks, we don’t think the French player will go down in straight sets.
Over 20.5 Total Games
We’ve already established that these youngsters have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks. With that in mind, we don’t think that this will be a one-sided contest. Andreeva has won eight consecutive sets, while Parry has won 10 sets in a row; we are fairly confident that both players will win at least one set, and this match will go comfortably over 20 games.
Diane Parry vs Mirra Andreeva Preview
We’ve established our Diane Parry vs Mirra Andreeva predictions, let’s take a look at both players’ form ahead of this fixture.
Diane Parry
Diane Parry didn’t have too much trouble dispatching 25th seed Anhelina Kalinina in straight sets a couple of days ago, despite being the underdog. With that victory, the French player has extended her winning streak to six matches. This should be an interesting fixture for Parry, as she faces an in-form Mirra Andreeva; can she hold her own against the teenager?
Mirra Andreeva
After cruising through three rounds of qualies in straight sets, Mirra Andreeva took on Alison Riske-Amritraj in the first round of the main draw. Like her opponents in the qualifying rounds, Riske was no match for the 16 year old, who knocked her out in straight sets. Mirra Andreeva will set her sights on a place in the third round of this tournament; it’ll be interesting to see how she matches up against Diane Parry.
Diane Parry vs Mirra Andreeva Head to Head
These players have previously never met, which isn’t a surprise considering Mirra Andreeva recently turned 16, while Diane Parry is 20 years old. Interestingly, this could be the start of a great rivalry on the WTA Tour.
