Roland Garros junior finalist, Russian Erika Andreeva, has opened up about what she misses the most after moving to Cannes.
“How long have you been in Krasnoyarsk?”
– We are going right after the tournament to the United States. I miss my family and friends who I haven’t seen in a long time. No matter how trite it may seem, but when you return home, you try to spend more time communicating with relatives, friends, doing urgent business. And for me it is already a mental rest. You miss your grandparents, your sisters. When you meet live, it helps – such a boost, “Championship” quotes Andreev.
— Was it difficult to adapt to another city and another country?
“To be honest, I wouldn’t say there were any problems with that, because I don’t really try to fit into anyone’s mentality. Nothing has changed for me. Yes, I understand there are slightly different people here, but I’m skipping and trying to ignore it.
– Isn’t it more difficult for your sister in this regard?
It seems to be even easier for her. When we trained in Russia, there was no such society. There are even more juniors at the tennis center, people with whom you can discuss something. In Russia, there were only a few people: Mirra, me, the coach and my parents. All.
Andreeva is 18 years old. She is ranked 128th by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA).
