I've improved physically and I'm much more positive on the court," Andreeva talks about her rise
Over time, Mirra Andreeva has gained maturity and sharpened her physical condition. The Russian player is becoming increasingly consistent and frequently advances deep into tournaments.
During a press conference after her victory against Daria Kasatkina, she discussed her progress: "It gives me a lot of confidence because I see that I’m capable of winning these matches, keeping the ball in play, starting from scratch, and even after running for so long, I regain my power and energy.
If I need to attack, I know I can do it. I know how to place and hit the ball well, not just keep it in play. I have to thank my fitness coach, who has helped me a lot in this regard.
I’ve improved physically—I’m much stronger than I was two years ago. In my opinion, I think differently now. I’m much more positive on the court, and that’s also one of my strengths.
I always try to fight for every point, no matter what. I think the two main changes are my physical and mental improvements.
