Australian Open: Andreeva Stages Fightback To Beat Parry, Advance To Last 16

Australian Open: Sixteen-year-old Mirra Andreeva extended her impressive run at the Australian Open by staging a remarkable comeback in the third round on Friday. Trailing 1-5 in the final set and facing a match point, she displayed incredible skills to overcome France's Diane Parry with a thrilling 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (10-5) victory.

For a spot in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, she'll face the winner of Friday night's match between 2021 Roland Garros champion Barbora Krejcikova, whom she beat twice last year, and Australian qualifier Storm Hunter.

Parry's game was at its most fluid in a half-hour opening set, in which the combination of her heavy forehand at the baseline, comfort at the net, and overall all-court prowess left Andreeva befuddled.
