Mirra Andreeva reacts to having to face Jessica Pegula next in the WTA Finals after their hot mic controversy
Mirra Andreeva and Jessica Pegula are set for their first career meeting in the WTA Finals semi-finals following a pre-tournament live-stream controversy where Pegula accidentally called her opponent a diva. Andreeva advanced to the final four with a 3-0 group stage record after defeating Diana Shnaider, whom she faced as a last-minute replacement for her scheduled opponent.
Speaking to the crowd at Indian Wells, Andreeva joked about hoping for a more favorable fan split against Pegula before expressing excitement about their upcoming clash. The nineteen-year-old stated she is feeling very happy with her performance and focus on continuous progression rather than accumulating records.
