Eliminated in the Wimbledon quarterfinals by Belinda Bencic (7-6, 7-6), Mirra Andreeva appeared at a press conference to share her thoughts.

But the 18-year-old player had to answer a question about the war in Ukraine, which requires Russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag. When asked to take a stance on the issue, she stated:

"When I play tennis, I focus only on that. I don’t think about anything else. I try to improve every day and enjoy my life. I can say I am in favor of peace, and I hope everything will be resolved soon.

She can't exactly say anything definitive. Literally has to walk on a tight rope.

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
