Days after her great celebration in Paris, there is still talk about Mirra Andreeva, the current protagonist in the women's circuit. In a recent interview, the pupil of Conchita Martinez analyzed the details of a memorable celebration.

And it is worth continuing to talk about Mirra Andreeva every day it takes, reinforcing the difficulty of winning a Grand Slam at just 19 years old. The Russian exited in style at Roland Garros after a final she managed with mastery, putting into practice all the advice she has received from her closest circle. It's no wonder that the current World No. 6 doesn't hesitate to affirm that she is playing her best tennis, the level she needed to make an impact on a big stage. In this chat with the WTA, the Siberian also mentioned the surprise she had seeing the T-shirts worn by her team members and why she decided to compete throughout the event in the pink dress.

Mirra Andreeva ensures she is playing the best tennis of her life

“I think right now I'm playing the best tennis of my career, obviously. I would say these are the best results I have had so far since turning pro. I would also say that winning Dubai and Indian Wells on hard court before this happened was the highlight of my career. Now I've won a Grand Slam title, so yes, I would say maybe this is the best tennis I have played so far”.

Andreeva's surprise seeing her whole team with the T-shirts

“It was a big surprise because I had no idea this was happening, I didn't even know they had this planned, that they had these T-shirts ready. I have no idea what they would have done if I had lost the final (laughs) because they also had many T-shirts and other things for me when I won. Nike is a very big company, I had their support for so many years, seeing that they had prepared something so special for me, especially when I won, and with that phrase ‘Fight beyond your years,’ it is very special and memorable to me”.

The moment of signing her own champion's plate

“It was very exciting when I saw those clay plates being signed earlier in the week, I looked at every past champion who was here, like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, or Stan Wawrinka. Every time I passed by this place, I was like… 'It would be so nice to have my name next to theirs’. How special must it be for other players to sign, have their name and a signature there? Now I have my name there with my signature, and honestly, it feels amazing to be part of so many great champions”.

Does Mirra Andreeva have an aura on the court?

“Oh my God, I don't know. I don't even know if I have an aura when I play (laughs). I think the energy that comes from me is laughter, jokes, feminine aura with my blonde curly hair. I feel a lot of positive and pleasant vibes, maybe that, but having an aura? At the moment, I don't feel that (laughs)”.

Mirra Andreeva confesses why she played Roland Garros in a pink dress

“What Nike came up with this year is the ballet theme, a collection, I already knew this would be the collection because we had tried it before and also shared our experience. It was amazing to see that dress and all the clothes before trying them on and playing the tournament. Generally, I like changing clothes, outfits, and colors, but I also like playing with a skirt and a top. This time I chose to start the tournament with a dress and felt that I started quite well. Then, after everyone started posting on social media about the color, the pink, my nails… I was like: ‘I have to keep the pink dress on’. So, it became the outfit of the tournament, although my initial plan was to change outfits, but I decided to stick with the pink”.
