Mirra Andreeva, currently ranked 14th in the world (her best ranking to date), continues to show on the court an evolution rarely seen. Her courage and aggressiveness on the circuit lead her to achieve her best tennis, although the young Russian has learned in recent months that negativity towards herself brings her nothing positive.

Her Childlike Character and Work with Conchita

"It's a learning experience. I have to learn to accept defeat. Now, when I see those videos of me crying, I laugh at myself because I couldn't hold back. It's another experience I had to go through in my career," the young Russian confessed in an interview with The Guardian. "I would say that sometimes I'm still a kid. I can get angry. If Conchita says something I don't like, I think, 'Okay, then I'll do something she won't like either.' I try to annoy her. She says, 'Oh my, what are you doing?' We start laughing about it and forget all that. Sometimes I can be a bit annoying, but so far, she's been doing a good job."

From Training Sessions to Matches

"Sometimes I remember things. Most of the time I go out on the court and realize that, for example, her forehand is better than her backhand, so maybe I should use her backhand more. Then I improvise what I do on the court. I guess that's what helps me because I never think about what I have to do. I just go to the court. I see how it is, see what happens, and decide there."

Her Change in Mentality

"I think I'm known as a person who thinks negatively most of the time, even last year at the beginning of the year. Now I realize that I wasn't thinking right, how I faced the matches, and what kind of thoughts I had during the match. When Conchita and I started working together, it certainly brought positivity. If I fail today, I know it's okay."
