French Open champion Mirra Andreeva is knocked out at the Bad Homburg WTA tournament after losing her first match since winning Roland Garros. Playing in her initial grass-court match of 2026, the world No. 5 falls to fellow Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova on Wednesday. The match ends 6-3, 6-4, with Andreeva starting competitively before momentum shifts in warm conditions in central Germany. One report notes she led briefly early in the opening set before losing seven straight games. Andreeva’s defeat comes after she had already withdrawn from last week’s Berlin Open, saying she wanted additional time to recover and prepare for Wimbledon following her June victory on the clay at Roland Garros. At Bad Homburg, both outlets describe her exit as occurring in the round of 16. The loss ends her run at the grass-court event shortly after her major title win, as she continues building up to the Wimbledon season.
