WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva showed her inexperience after a week of showing her maturity at her first Wimbledon. The Russian qualifier had reached the fourth round at the All England Club but she let a big lead over 25th-seeded Madison Keys slip away in a 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss on No. 2 Court. Andreeva took the first set and led 3-0 in the second before Keys turned things around. Keys has reached the semifinals at the other three Grand Slam tournaments but her only other quarterfinal appearance at the All England Club ended at that stage. Defending champion Elena Rybakina also reached the quarterfinals. She advanced when Beatriz Haddad Maia retired from their match with a hip injury with Rybakina leading 4-1.
