Multiple USSR champion Anna Dmitrieva believes that the 16-year-old Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva will not be able to surpass the feat of a compatriot Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon.
In 2004 Sharapova, at the age of 17, became the winner of the London tournament, beating American Serena Williams in the final.
“I look forward to even greater success for Andreeva next year. Will she be able to repeat Sharapova’s success at Wimbledon 2024 in that case? She, of course, is going by leaps and bounds. Even in these six months, she added a lot. In the future, we will have an additional class player.
So far, she has half-kids half-adult tennis. Sharapova managed to pass this period unnoticed. I think she will need more time, even if she progresses from tournament to tournament. Playing on grass for the first time, he shows very uncomfortable tennis for experienced players. Not everyone can handle their style of play.
Can Potapova cope? A very interesting match awaits us. Usually Nastya was the youngest, and now Mirra (laughs). I don’t know how she will act. Potapova won junior Wimbledon then disappeared for a few years, stopped in development. She changed coaches and improved her game over the past year,” Dmitrieva told Legalbet.
In the match of the third round, Andreeva on Saturday, July 8, will meet her compatriot Anastasia Potapova.
