Conchita Martínez, Wimbledon champion as a player, has work on the court again. Garbiñe Muguruza or Karolina Pliskova passed through her hands, during her time as her coach. She has also been Davis Cup and Federation Cup captain, as well as director of the Billie Jean King Finals.
One of the legends of Spanish tennis, also highly respected and coveted internationally. So much so that she has been requested by the most promising child prodigy in current world tennis.
He was the sensation of 2023, he reached the third round of Roland Garros from the qualifying phase, he went even further reaching the second round of Wimbledon.
Suddenly, dizzying climb in the world ranking, in which he occupies 43rd position at 16 years old. Mirra Andreeva, who had not won since the Australian Open, who has suffered a wrist injury, has decided to take another step.
He has called Conchita Martínez, with whom he has been training for a few weeks. A test that she started well, with victory at the WTA in Rouen. 6-1 and 6-3 to Argentina’s Nadia Podoroska.
“I like it, I hope she likes it too. We’ll see how it goes and then we’ll decide on our next tournaments. I can’t say there are any special aspects we’re working on. But the first thing we worked on was my cut, because she “She was very good at cutting shots, so she told me some tricks and I’m trying to use them when I have time and a good chance on the court,” Andreeva explains on the WTA Tour website.
Siberian, like Maria Sharapova, left Russia to land on the French Riviera. Now she tries with Conchita Martínez.
