Her ability to turn defense into offense and her tactical IQ make her a formidable opponent on any surface, and the clay courts of Madrid are no exception.<\/p>\n Enter Mirra Andreeva \u2014 the 17-year-old Russian sensation who\u2019s quickly becoming<\/a> one of the Tour\u2019s most talked-about players.
