Katerina Siniakova defeated Mirra Andreeva (4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3) on Monday in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. Andreeva, an 18-year-old Russian who was trying to become the first woman to repeat at Indian Wells since Martina Navratilova in 1991, did not take the loss well.
While Siniakova enjoyed her victory, Andreeva threw and smashed a racket after losing the second set tiebreak. Then, after she lost the match, she threw her racket, gave her opponent a quick handshake, grabbed her stuff and stormed off the court. As she was leaving the court, she could be seen yelling something toward the crowd. Novice lip readers are convinced she dropped an F-bomb despite the fact that her hand was in the way when they showed the replay.
