Mirra Andreeva was left puzzled by the Indian Wells crowd’s reaction during her high-stakes match against Elena Rybakina at the BNP Paribas Open. The young Russian star, known for her composure on the court, admitted she couldn’t quite understand the fans’ behavior at a crucial moment in the match.
What Happened During Andreeva vs. Rybakina?

After the match, Andreeva expressed her confusion:
“I didn’t really understand what they were doing at one point. It was weird. I was focused on my game, but I could hear something that didn’t make sense to me.”
While Andreeva did not specify the exact moment she was referring to, some spectators speculated that the crowd’s reaction might have been due to a controversial call, an intense rally, or a shift in momentum that caught fans off guard.
Andreeva’s Rising Stardom
