Mirra Andreeva (7th in the world ranking) She is one of the great protagonists of the women’s circuit. At 18 years old, he already knew how to win several trophies WTA 1000 and being number 5 on the planet, in addition to having reached the semifinals of Roland Garros in 2024, when she was 17. This quickly positioned her among the top contenders on the tour.

Yevgeny Kafelnikov, former No. 1 and two-time champion majorgave statements in the middle First & Red. “Andreeva has to change significantly if she wants to reach the top of this sport. To be honest, I wish I hadn’t seen that match between her and Svitolinabecause it really revealed a lot of deficiencies in Mirra’s game,” the Russian began by revealing.
Then he added: “Honestly, the way he’s playing right now She has no prospects of becoming number one in the world nor is there any way for her to win a Grand Slam.. You have to look reality directly in the eyes. I really want him to improve as a tennis player and win many tournaments. majorsbut to achieve this, something has to change.
On the other hand, it was comparative with another of the great promises of the circuit: “Jovic is a young American and they are the same age and Jovic’s potential is 10 times greater than Andreeva’s. “You have to be objective.”
