Krejcikova Ends Andreeva’s Wimbledon Push in Three Sets
Barbora Krejcikova, the 2024 Wimbledon champion, beat Mirra Andreeva 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 on Centre Court. Andreeva’s bid to join a rare group of teenage Roland Garros and Wimbledon champions is over, but her grass-court case is far from weakened.

What happened:

Watch the highlights:

Barbora Krejcikova ended Mirra Andreeva’s Wimbledon run with a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 win on Centre Court, according to The Guardian. Krejcikova, the 2024 women’s singles champion at Wimbledon, recovered after dropping the opening set and closed out a three-set victory against the 19-year-old French Open champion.

The result halted Andreeva’s attempt to join a short Open era list of women who won singles titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon before turning 20. The Guardian named Maureen Connolly, Evonne Goolagong, Chris Evert and Steffi Graf as the four women in that category. Andreeva had arrived with a chance to add herself to that group; Krejcikova removed it.

Match shape:

The scoreline tells the essential story: Andreeva took the first set, Krejcikova edged the second, and the defending champion from 2024 completed the comeback in the third. No single phase can be responsibly expanded beyond that from the supplied facts, but the margins point to a match that stayed live deep into the final set.

The Guardian also described Andreeva’s reputation as a scrapper and shot-maker as enhanced despite the defeat. That matters because the loss was not framed as a collapse. It was a high-level exit against a player who has already won both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

Tournament impact:

For Krejcikova, the win keeps alive a Wimbledon campaign with real authority behind it. Beating a recent French Open champion after losing the first set is not just survival; it is evidence that her grass-court level remains dangerous under pressure.

For Andreeva, the consequence is narrower but painful. Her immediate Wimbledon hopes are gone, and The Guardian reported that she said the defeat would take some time to get over. The historic teenage double is off the table, at least for this year. But her performance still supports the idea that she has the tools to contend on grass in future seasons.

What to watch:

Krejcikova’s next test is whether this comeback becomes a platform or simply a draining escape. Former champions carry a different kind of pressure at Wimbledon, and this result confirms she can absorb a difficult match without losing the tournament thread.

Andreeva’s follow-up will be more developmental. She already owns a major title on clay, and this match showed enough grass-court competitiveness to keep her long-term Wimbledon projection intact, even with the immediate disappointment.

Confidence:

Confirmed by the source: Krejcikova beat Andreeva 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 at Wimbledon; Krejcikova was the 2024 Wimbledon champion; Andreeva won last month’s French Open and is 19. Still needing follow-up: Krejcikova’s next opponent, full match statistics, and any post-match detail beyond Andreeva’s reaction.
