Overview

• Laura Siegemund defeated world No. 5 Mirra Andreeva 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3 in the Wuhan Open first match for the Russian after a first-round bye.
• Broadcast shots showed Andreeva waving off a cameraman, wiping away tears and shouting in Russian as frustration grew during the three-set loss.
• Reported statistics listed 15 double faults, eight service breaks conceded and roughly 40% second‑serve points won by Andreeva, versus 57% for Siegemund.
• The setback extends a recent dip that includes a Beijing upset by Sonay Kartal and a run of four wins in her last seven matches.
• Andreeva has discussed ongoing work with a sports psychologist and a focus on accepting losses after her early‑season breakthrough with Dubai and Indian Wells titles.
