After two hours and 25 minutes of pushing each other to their limits, the moment the 25-year-old went down, Mirra Andreeva, the No.5 seed, sprinted across the court to help her friend.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>In the end, Andreeva, the reigning Roland Garros champion, won the last game to seal a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 victory, but it was her rush to Potapova\u2019s aid that lingered long after the match.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Andreeva, 19, first met Potapova in Monastir, Tunisia when she was handed a wildcard into the WTA 250 and drew Potapova in the first round. At the time, she was already an established name on tour and, to Andreeva, a player she had watched from afar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>\u201cNastya was always like a prodigy. She came on tour early, she also had a lot of wins,\u201d Andreeva recalled.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Potapova won that first meeting, but Andreeva came away impressed by more than her tennis.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cShe said a lot of nice words,\u201d Andreeva said. The two began practising together and, as they spent more time around each other, their friendship grew naturally.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>In the quarterfinals, Andreeva will play world No.4 Coco Gauff.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/tennis\/top-stories\/us-open-mirra-andreeva-rushes-to-injured-friend-anastasia-potapovas-aid-in-touching-moment\/articleshow\/133924122.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mirra Andreeva, of Russia, left, helps Anastasia Potapova, of Austria.
