Former British world number one Andy Murray believes that the strength of Russian tennis players Mirra Andreeva lies in her winning mentality and her strict attitude towards herself on the field.
On Friday, Andreeva reached the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open, defeating Frenchwoman Diane Parry with a score of 1:6, 6:1, 7:6 (10:5). During the third set, the 16-year-old Russian managed to come back to 1:5.
— Andreeva loses 1:5 in the third set. One commentator said: “She really needs to work on the mental side of her game… She’s too hard on herself when she loses.” After 30 minutes – 7:6, Andreeva wins.
Perhaps the reason she turned the tide of the match was because of her mental strength. Maybe she turned the tide of the match because she is too hard on herself and demands more of herself when she loses/plays poorly?
Winner,” Murray wrote on social media.
In the next round, Andreeva will face the winner of the match Storm Hunter (Australia) – Barbora Krejcikova (Czech Republic, 9).
