Winner of the 2023 US Open in junior doubles, 18 years old Anastasia Gurieva talked about tennis idols.
According to the athlete, since childhood she admired the character and the will to win Maria Sharapova .
— In tennis, mentality and psyche now play an important role. Especially for women. And since childhood I watched Maria’s matches, I always admired her way of playing and fighting until the end. When people ask me what I do, I say tennis. Everyone says I look like Maria Sharapova. Most likely because of its size, perhaps a little externally.
I am flattered ! People would often say to me, “Do you want to be like Sharapova?” I responded that I wanted to be better. You should always strive to do more! She could also watch clips of matches – from her victorious Wimbledon, especially since videos of her meetings often flash before my eyes. I remember Martina Hingis and the Williams sisters. After that, you understand what you need to strive for, how much you need to work. And that inspires,” Guryeva said on “Championship.”
