Mirra Andreeva had enough. The defending Indian Wells champion couldn’t handle the pressure of the title defense at just 18 years old and had an absolute meltdown on the court in Coachella Valley on Monday, as an unseeded Katerina Siniakova got the best of her, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the Round of 32. Andreeva threw her racket after losing the second set tiebreaker before going on to smash it, which gave her a code violation.
