Working on the psychological side of her game, Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva says Rafael Nadal is an example to follow.
LONDOK, UK – Schoolgirl and tennis prodigy Mirra Andreeva is modeling herself on Rafael Nadal for mental toughness and resilience.
“After Nadal, he won the French Open in 2022. I was really impressed because after an injury, he came back, he won the Australian Open, he won the French Open,” she said.Andreeva handled her press conference just as she handled former junior champion Potapova in her 6-2, 7-5 victory – with confidence and an apparent maturity beyond her years.
She diverted the answer into talking of support she received from her family and local people in her hometown of Krasnoyarsk who were posting stories about her success on social media. Andreeva, who meets American 25th seed Madison Keys in the next round, said she separates her work on court from life away from it.
