Mirra Andreeva has coined a great phrase for summarizing her successes, which has deeply resonated in society and has become her own very particular motto. "I want to thank myself." After winning Roland Garros 2026, she wore a jacket with that motto written on it and in her thank-you speech, she didn't hesitate to delve into it and explain.

"I want to thank myself for always believing in myself, for giving my all even in the toughest moments, for striving to be a better person and player every day, and for continuing to fight against all fears and inner demons I've had during these two weeks. Only I know how tough it has been and how nervous I've been, so I also want to acknowledge the work I've done to get here."
