Former first racket of the world Dinara Safina named the moments that she would suggest changing in the game of 17-year-old Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva .
— She doesn’t need to add a lot of nuances, literally little by little. In some places, cut the corner a little more, in others, meet the ball a little earlier, use a little more shortcuts. Well, it would be possible to add more combinations that it would automatically execute at decisive moments.
– How do you like his game?
– I really like it. Yes, I messed up the ending a bit, I didn’t manage to perform well at the US Open – Kruger lost. In this match, Mirra, of course, did not succeed. Besides, I completely missed Kruger, I forgot that she was trained by Joyce, Sharapova’s former coach. And then I saw, I think, Christmas trees, and Kruger was playing well. And this is what Mirra adds. In the semi-final, Roland Garros put pressure on me, I was nervous, but there is progress. She’s already played enough for her dog, let’s see what she can play next year.
— Don’t you have the impression that it still lacks a little power?
— In general, we can improve this. But I’m sure his coach knows what needs to be added. Little by little, Mirra will regain this power. The main thing for her is to listen less to all the praise and all the progress,” Safina said, as quoted by Championship.
