the girls were HITTING!! ❤‍🔥definitely my favourite match from today. Congrats Mirra!

Love this kid ,she's a fighter.

With so many dynamic, interesting, and talented players, with appealing personalities, the WTA has so many intriguing match ups, week after week. This match was AWESOME!!!

Match of the day ! 👏

Great composure from Mirra to fight back from being 1-4 down in the 3rd set... the consistent rise in her maturity is definitely impressive! 🙂

Mirra hits a flatter forehand and seeks for more aggression in her game. She is still improving and that’s nice to see for such a young talent. That’s the right way to go. Congrats girl !

This is for sure a 360 degree different kind of Mirra; compared to the last time I saw her upset, frustrated and losing. Good bounce back.

Big Mirra fan!😊

ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO THIS PRODIGY MIRRA!!! WAY TO GO GIRL!

Taylor you should be proud. Huge fan you! Been watching since almost the beginning when you were hitting in Atlanta years ago. Youre dynamite and people will see it more and more.

Well done Mira. Keep improving and keep winning young lady 💪💪💪

Excellent result. It's important she doesn't lose to the journeyman players.

Taylor I was rooting for you. I just love your game. You will come again. Congrats Mira.

4-1 down to 5-7 in the 3rd set.

Well done Mirra! 👏❤️

3:23 - genius

The future is being made and it is Mirra Andreeva

Mirra's my girl! 👍👍

That was a nice shake at the net after a hard-won victory. Congrats to Mirra!

I still don't understand how Townsend is unable to lose weight and keep herself fit and slim. It has really hurt her career. Andreeva what a talent, and what determination.

The consistency in Townsend's game now is almost unreal.

Mitras game doesn’t speak teenagers. It’s so matured

I'm sure you will go far in this turnament please stay consistant mirra❤❤

I would be super anxious playing against Mirra.

❤❤❤ Mirra andreva power can't complain by Taylor congratulations Mirra 🎉🎉🎉

Love, Mirra...

Congratulations mirra this young girl is a real fighter 👏👏👏👏

So muguruza's former coach, the good looking Conchita Martinez, is now with Mirra.

Gg Andreeva! 🎉

The futur number one for sure !

great win

Taylor vastly underestimated Mirra’s reputation and record for clawing her way back into lost causes and in the end bottled it. The best player won.

Yeahhhh MIRRA very goood match.❤

Yes! Go Mirra! 🔥

What an excellent game, the level during the third set was like watching a semifinal in any given Masters tournament. That Townsend can hit the ball HARD, as hard as Serena used to. Great win by Andreeva, coming from behind and staying focused to win it off, against a much experienced player like Townsend. Psychologically speaking, these wins count double!

I love watching Taylor’s matches. Her and Ons, I’d gladly pay to watch all day long ❤

andreeva one love

Good girl,Mirra!You've beaten a tough opponent

Nice highlights 3rd set Mirra behind 1-3 0-30 Next point she is 6-5 40-15

Townsend is amazing to watch, cant wait for her to climb the rankings this year and win some titles!

Super Mira, Klasse ,

Great fighting for the teen! I usually root for the up and coming youngsters.

How the hell Taylor? That was a semi choke up 3-1 in the 3rd

I’m so tired of the haters! This was a great match and Taylor is doing great things! I had a conversation with coach who worked with Taylor in the past and I told him she is my favorite player on the WTA right now. Like many of you he commented on her weight and explained she has a medical condition that makes it very difficult to lose and maintain a healthy weight. He needn’t explain more because I have the same condition. You see tennis is an incredibly rigorous sport, especially for women. As a result many female tennis players have elevated levels of testosterone and hence why many female players tend to have a more muscular or boxy physique. While this a good thing for strength, endurance, and athleticism, for some, overtime the continued higher levels of testosterone and cortisol causes the body to hold on to extra fat. (E.g. oskapenko or Serena Williams during the latter parts of their careers) Back in 2021 Taylor lost the extra 15-20 lbs but she’s actually playing much better now than she did then. If she wanted to do that again she would probably have to travel around with a personal chef/nutritionist which certainly not cheap and is probably why many of the higher ranking players have such a good physique. Most of you that are saying mean things out of bitterness and ignorance because if you’re really honest with yourself, you’re probably watching the highlights because you know her story and truly admire her tenacity, courage and talent. Everyone is on their own journey and has their own motivations for playing the sport. Nuff respect for Taylor to keep up the hard work.

See lots of comments about Taylor's weight, and aside from the pathetic snark, it's a valid point--moving extra weight around can be a liability for sure. But watching the highlights, it didn't look to me like Taylor lost any foot speed throughout the match, and she didn't look slow out there. She chased down some balls. So who knows?

So Mirra won the match, yet it she barely won the points, according to highlights 🤷🏻🤦

I KNEW that lose last week was going to frustrate the hell out of Mirra. She dug deep in this match against an in form Taylor. ❤

Calling her future is too soon. I don't find anything dominating in her game. Neither she has a big serve lile Rybakina, nor the powerful groundstrokes like Sabalenka. Her athleticism is above average but still nothing close to Swiatek or Gauff. She plays like Kasatkina tbh, just my perspective.

Townsend must reduce her body weigth to be more agile and athletic.. He carries a heavy load.

Taylor really gave her a run for her money. The both showed a lot of grit.

well done young Lady ❤

🎉🎉🎉 nice

Wow, I detest people coasting on the second set. Taylor let her back into the match and now it's all even going into the third. I sincerely hope that's the last time Taylor lets a match get away like that again. Anyone getting a set up on Mira had better put her away in the second or risk losing like this, Mira is a fighter.

who cut these highlights, that last set :/

A very big future is coming for Mirra Andreeva, Do you agree?

Tennis as it should be

4:10 quite a leap…

How did Taylor lose a 4-1 lead in the 3rd set tho!?

Jawohl Bejelek 😊👍

Mirra is good today

Townsend is 20 pounds away from top-20, just a bit of a slimming down can do wonders for her

Taylor Townsend just refuses to lose 15 lbs.

Fat can help Townsend hit harder but makes her movement slow. If she loses 10 kg would she play better or worse?)

Ну это ТТ и бульдозер....молодец, Мирра справилась!

Shocking editing..

Mirra , mirra ,,,,

Way to beat the cheat

¡El pequeño tiene hambre!

So many women who can‘t move their legs or feet are top 100 how is this possible

Hi tennis fans, there is a much better highlights out there! WTA version is only 5:05 and put their coaches face multiple times. Seriously, what’s important??

16 y.o.⁉How can that be⁉ Wow!

Who’s making these highlights 😂 3-1 to 5-6 instantly like nothing happened

Man, it has to hurt for a veteran journey woman to lose to some kid.

Jesus Christ. Taylor Townsend 😂🤣😂🤣 how many mistakes do you want to make? Very poor standard when in a winning position.

💟💟

Jawohl Montgomery 😊👍

Townsend is overrated as Andreeva is not (as of yet) that great of a player.

16 year old girl beat 28 year old Serena look alike.

Townsend been trying to comeback into top 50s!😊

She's good from behind

Prevent the spoiler. Like this comment so it stays on top

Is Townsend preggo?

different weights 😂

Очень тяжелый матч для Мирры. Но это не удивительно - она слишком набрала вес, ее движения не так быстры и точны. Хотя несколько потрясающих ударов она все же продемонстрировала. По чесноку - Мирре еще повезло, что ее соперница из-за своего телосложения уже не могла также эффективно играть, как в первом сете, все-таки усталость дала о себе знать. Это скорее кредит, чем настоящая победа, надеюсь, вес у Мирры придет в норму со временем.

TT is great hitter but marginal mover due to packing 40 lbs that she really needs to lose. she needs to quit following her mothers diet advice, shes an enabler, and follow her coaches diet advice in order to beat the medium and top players. hard to get to the ball if youre packing an extra 40 lbs u dont need. plain facts.

How you gonna play tennis weighing 500lbs?

Townsend too chubby for tennis

Andreeva is too small and skinny to win with BIG 3 - typical prefinal player xd

Taylor just cut off eating a buffet 😅

Beauty and the beast. Townsend looks monstrous. Serena pales in comparison with this "woman".

Had zero idea conchita Martinez is andreeva’s new coach. I guess she moved on from muguruza
