Mirra Andreeva’s remarkable Wimbledon 2025 run came to a heartbreaking end as the Russian fell 6-7(3), 6-7(2) to Belinda Bencic in the quarterfinals. The seventh seed was visibly emotional after the match, with tears running down as she left the court in her first Wimbledon quarterfinal appearance.
Mirra Andreeva’s Emotional Defeat on Centre Court
The match lasted just over two hours, with both sets going to tiebreaks as neither player could gain a decisive advantage. Bencic, who had been away from the game due to maternity leave, proved too experienced in the crucial moments, winning both tiebreaks and securing a place in final four. After the match, Andreeva was seen in tears, visibly disappointed by the result.

During her post-match press conference, Andreeva spoke about the match, saying:
“I’m a bit sad. Not a bit. I am sad that I lost, but I just felt like she was playing good today. At some point I also felt like I could have played better. Maybe a little bit more focused, maybe a little bit less mistakes, more aggressive. So yeah, today is the hard day, but I can take a lot of positives from these two weeks for sure. So we’re going to move on and improve.”
Andreeva entered Wimbledon as the seventh seed and had an impressive Wimbledon 2025 campaign, starting with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Mayar Sheriff in the first round. She then went on to defeat Lucia Bronzettti 6-1, 7-6(4) in the second round before registering a comfortable 6-1, 6-3 win against Hailey Baptiste in the third. In the fourth round, the Russian faced 10th seed Emma Navarro and won 6-2, 6-3 before losing to Bencic.
