Tennis star Mirra Andreeva suffered a complete collapse on court after losing to Katerina Siniakova 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the round of 32 at Indian Wells in the Coachella Valley on Monday.
Andreeva, 18, entered the tournament as the defending champion, but her emotions got the better of her during her match with Siniakova.
Andreeva rallied from a 0-3 deficit to win the first set 6-4, but things snowballed from there. After losing the second set in a tiebreaker, he took out his frustrations on his racket, earning him a code violation. During the tiebreaker, while breaking his racket, he asked his team to leave the court.

After losing the match, Andreeva threw her racket toward the bench and briefly shook Siniakova’s hand. He then broke out and let the fans hear him as he yelled “Fuck everyone” to the crowd several times.
When asked who she was berating, Andreeva said her explicit outburst was intended for everyone.
“Basically, it was for me and for everyone,” Andreeva said, according to the New York Post. “I mean, after loss, I get really angry, so sometimes I say those things to myself. I mean, first to myself, of course, but then, yeah, it was just anger coming out, just a lot of emotions. Not really toward anyone.”

Andreeva regretted her actions after the loss when she later spoke to the press following her doubles victory with partner Victoria Mboko.
“Well, of course, I can say that I went through a lot of emotions after the defeat,” Andreeva said. “But of course, I’m not really proud of how I handled it. I’m not really proud of how I handled it in the end.”
