“I think the best thing I had today on the court was my mentality, because I played all the points concentrated,” is the phrase that sums up the tennis of Ane Seminar (Idiazábal, October 24, 2003), this 17-year-old player who already has her piece of history in Spanish sport, junior champion of Wimbledon. He joins a short but chosen list of winners, with Manuel Orantes (1967) and Alejandro Davidovich (2017), and surpasses the limit that Magüi Serna had set when he played the final in 1996 (he lost to Amelie Mauresmo).
Guipuzcoana, Mintegi started on the fronton, playing ball, hence the gesture he had already perfected when he switched to the racket. At the age of 15, he decided to take another step in his growth phase and since then he has outlined his tennis and his education at the High Performance Center of Barcelona. Since the beginning of the course he has been training at the TEC Carles Ferrer Salat. Hence, in her champion speech, she thanked the support of her team in London, led by her coach Juan Lizariturry and the one who stayed in Barcelona.
The number 715 in the professional world and 27 in the junior ranking has a tough, robust and direct tennis. She has her original touch because she plays with glasses, but it does not seem to be a difficulty for this expert in Grand Slams. Wimbledon 2021 has been his seventh participation in a ‘big’ although his ceiling was the quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2020 from which he had to withdraw due to heatstroke.
She hopes to follow the smooth progression that has brought her here, but she already has references to look at. In the champion parliament, she was reminded that Ashleigh Barty won the junior title a decade ago and this past Saturday she was crowned in the absolute. “Do you think something like this can happen to you?” They asked him and a resounding “Yes!” spoke for her from the box of the Guipuzcoana.
