Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva has fighting qualities and excellent playing technique, she will achieve a lot in her career, believes Olga Morozova, winner of Roland Garros in doubles in 1974.
On Friday, Andreeva, 16, ranked 47th in the WTA rankings, beat Frenchwoman Diane Parry (72) with a score of 1:6, 6:1, 7:6 (10:5). Andreeva lost in the third set (1:5) and regained a match point.
In the next round, she will face the winner of the match Storm Hunter (Australia) – Barbora Krejcikova (Czech Republic, 9).
— When you are 16 years old and at this age you can win a match from 1:5 in sets, it means you have a strong tennis heart. Mirra can outdo herself during the match, and she likes it herself. Mirra has excellent technique, a good understanding of the game and, above all, fighting qualities. She has a temperament, an inner core. Andreeva will achieve a lot in tennis, provided she stays healthy and avoids injuries. His coaches must take an example from Djokovic and give him the right schedule for tournaments and recovery after them.
– Today there is another sensation – Maria Timofeeva knocked out the tenth seed Beatriz Haddad-Maya.
– Timofeeva is so smart! I didn’t see her much before, but now I’ll look at her more closely, I’ll watch her more. It’s very good that our girls win,” Morozova told .
