US Open: Andreeva and Mboko as Dark Horses
The US Open is coming up, and there are some young women who could surprise everyone!
Mirra Andreeva, from Russia, is only 18 but has been doing well in big tournaments.
She's ranked high enough to cause some upsets, but she has a hurt ankle.
Also, keep an eye on Victoria Mboko, a Canadian player, also 18, who just beat Naomi Osaka to win a big tournament in Montreal.
These two young players could make a big splash!
Mirra Andreeva, the 18-year-old Russian player, is a serious threat in the US Open.
Andreeva has risen in the rankings and could challenge top players.
Andreeva's left ankle is currently an issue.
Victoria Mboko, an 18-year-old Canadian, is also a player to watch.
