Mirra Andreeva is the standout name of the week at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The Russian is having an exceptional clay court season, returning to form and establishing herself as a player to watch in Paris. The Madrid tournament is uncovering her potential, bringing her closer to the third position in the year's Race, although she still has one final challenge to overcome to clinch the title, facing Kostyuk or Potapova.

Today, the protégé of Conchita Martínez demonstrated her renewed mental strength by maintaining focus after losing serve while having the opportunity to close out the match; she missed several match points, but none of that changed her expression, staying composed to complete a remarkable comeback that secured the victory in the tiebreak. She talked about handling those challenging moments, dealing with crucial points, growing up, and her work with Conchita, among other topics, in the press conference.

Andreeva reflected on the partnership with Conchita Martínez: What impact does it have on her tennis?

- Strong performance in Madrid, already in the final: How does she feel physically after enduring tough matches, reaching the title clash in Linz, and the semis in Stuttgart earlier?

"I am very pleased with how I played today. Very happy, furthermore, to reach the final here for the first time, very excited. I felt great on court today, and I'm happy with how I maintained focus until the end. Physically, I feel good, really. I can't complain. We do everything we can to recover fast, and I feel like I'm recovering well. I don't feel tired, don't feel like I need a couple of days off. So far, so good, and we will continue with the same method to keep me fresh and ready for the final."
