Mirra Andreeva wants to win where she made a name for herself two seasons ago when, at just 15 years old, she reached the round of 16 at the Mutua Madrid Open. Since then, far from being overwhelmed by expectations, the Russian has continued step by step. Last year, with the help of Conchita Martínez, she fully blossomed and in 2025, she has already won the WTA titles in Dubai and Indian Wells. Now, it's time for her confirmation on clay, and she started off on the right foot by defeating Marie Bouzkova in her first match in Madrid.

After her victory, she went to the mixed zone and talked about the aspect of her game she has trained the most, her relationship with Conchita, and Emma Raducanu's harassment case in Dubai.

Strong start in Madrid against Bouzkova

"She was a tough opponent because she always puts one more ball in. So, I was very patient and tried to play my game, and I am very happy with how I managed today’s match."

Aspect of her game that has improved this year

"We worked hard during the preseason on my serve, jumping more, being more active with my legs, quicker with arm movements. These are small details, and today, I was really impressed with my serve. When I was younger, it was harder for me because I was shorter and not a great server."

Finds inspiration in basketball stars

"Apart from LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan have also inspired me a lot. In fact, I can't wait to watch Jordan's Netflix documentary, and my team was surprised when I told them I hadn't seen it yet. These two players have motivated me quite a bit."

Regarding Raducanu's Dubai incident

"Sometimes it's tough when people write to you on social media, but now I know how to handle those types of messages. Honestly, I don't know if there has been any progress, I obviously know what happened to Raducanu, but I'm not sure if there has been any improvement."

Her great relationship with Conchita Martínez

"Sometimes I get more nervous with her, but other times she helps me understand what's going on and how I feel. I constantly talk to Conchita about anything that concerns her or me. But we always have good conversations."
