Andreeva, who turned 19 on Wednesday, will face Marta Kostyuk or Anastasia Potapova in the final of the claycourt tournament, with the two set to face off later in the day. “I feel so much adrenaline inside, I feel like I’m still nervous,” Andreeva said in the post-match interview. “Honestly, I’m just so happy that I won...
