The young French tennis prodigy won during an ITS tournament in Monastir. In Biot, her trainer Patrick Mouratoglou sees her as “a leader”.
She was naturalized French at the beginning of September and has been training since 2019 on the tennis courts of the Mouratoglou academy in Biot (Alpes-Maritimes). Ksenia Efremova, born in Russia, performed well on Sunday during an ITF tournament in Monastir (Tunisia).

At just 14 years old, she won her first professional title. And this, by winning the top seeds without losing a single set. She thus becomes the youngest player to win a tournament, since the Bulgarian Sesil Karatantcheva in 2003.
“I would like to win all the tournaments and all the grand slams. And become world number 1 and also a tennis legend!“In front of the camera BrutKsenia Efremova does not lack ambition and gives herself the means.
“My typical day: I warm up before training for about 30 minutes. Then I practice for two hours. Then, two hours of rest, and training again. Then I have a fitness session and I go to my private lesson to learn French and go to school.“
“I am convinced that she can win titles for France“, predicted last October his trainer, Patrick Mouratoglou, to our colleagues at France 2. “It’s important to have a leader, someone in the country who achieves things at the highest level because that leads to lots of other players who start to believe in it more.“
Next stop for the young French tennis player: the Australian Open in January.
Will the new French tennis star continue to reach the top, until she wins Roland-Garros? The last blue-white-red victory was in 2000.
