During the second and third sets of the Indian Wells final - when Andreeva evidently raised her game - Sabalenka failed to step up and respond. So after the final, a reporter was curious if not being properly tested may have been negatively impacted her on Sunday.

Teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva confirmed her place among women’s tennis’s most promising young talents on Sunday. The young Russian mounted a fantastic turnaround to beat World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the Indian Wells final.

Andreeva has already lost twice to Sabalenka this year but will be determined to change that in the Indian Wells final.
