Marina Pavlova, the first coach of a Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva believes that after a successful performance at Roland Garros, the athlete should focus on the adult circuit.
On Saturday, 16-year-old Andreeva lost to the world’s sixth-ranked American Cory Gauff in the French Open third round match – 7:6 (7:5), 1:6, 1:6.
— Mirra had a good tournament, beating two top 100 rivals and playing almost tied for the sixth racquet in the world. Yes, Gauff lost, but it seems to me that she just didn’t have enough experience in such matches. The third round of Roland Garros for a 16-year-old girl is very cool.
It seems to me that Mirra should now focus on the adult tour. Of course, because of her age, she has a limitation, she will have to play junior tournaments. But her level of play already allows her to play on an equal footing with tennis players from the top 100. She wants to go to Wimbledon now. Mirra has never played on grass before, but her aggressive game should also be effective on fast courts.
Its potential is already visible. She is a versatile player, capable of becoming a big star. Now, for her, everything happens for the first time. She has nothing to prove, no title. It’s probably not worth talking about pressure in such a situation. She boldly moves forward, feels new emotions,” Pavlova told Metaratings.ru.
Mirra Andreeva has become the first tennis player under the age of 17 since 2009 to reach the third round of Roland-Garros.
