Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva announced that she would analyze her match against the representative of Poland Magda Linette in the first round of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris to better prepare for her fight against her at the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing.
On Monday, Andreeva defeated Croatian Donna Vekic in the third round of the tournament in the Chinese capital with a score of 3:6, 6:4, 6:4. To reach the quarterfinals, the Russian will play with Linette, against whom she lost at the Paris Olympics (3:6, 4:6).
“I know the match against Lynette will be difficult and close. She runs after balls and doesn’t miss much on her own. Maybe something has changed in her game since the Olympics, but I’ll look back at this match to see what I did wrong and what she did right, and to try to make her feel bad. comfortable this time. I train with her a lot and we know each other pretty well, so I think it’s going to be a little tough on both of us mentally.
As for Vekic, I knew she would be very aggressive, but her punches were quite violent, it was difficult to do anything with them. I thought her shots would be flatter, but it turns out she’s playing with spin. His forehands are very dangerous, the ball flies away, you can’t reach it. I’ll be honest, I haven’t had a single moment where I’ve been frustrated or negative towards myself, and I think that’s great progress on my part. Therefore, I recognize that this is one of the most mature matches I have played this year,” Andreeva was quoted as saying by the press service of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA).
