Women's tennis anyone??? Ah, the crowd to me, sounded like they were kinda pissed AN AMERICAN WON HER

MATCH!!!! against the very young Russian, Andreeva. Just glad the American, Anismova, won……but I swear the crowd wanted the Russian. I could be wrong…..but it sounded like it to moi. And ok, Andreeva is adorable…….but why would the crowd In MIAMI want the Russian to win?? Just sooooooooo happy the American did win.
