Mirra Andreeva is not going through her best moment. The Russian continues immersed in a crisis of play and results since last summer, and the critics are beginning to emerge. One of the latest people to question her has been a fellow countrywoman, specifically the former world number 1, Dinara Safina, who criticized the last match that the 18-year-old played at the Miami Open in her loss to Victoria Mboko (7-6, 4-6, 6-0): "I was surprised by how little calm she was. The calm with which she broke the serve in the second set to win it, and then the concentration she showed in the third set. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sometimes Mirra's mistakes seem emotional," she stated on the Best Tennis podcast.

"I can't say she's doing anything wrong, but she makes mistakes. I have the feeling that she makes them on purpose. It seems that way from the outside. I could be wrong, but it seems like after every mistake, she wants to go back to her comfort zone and say, 'Look, I made a mistake!'", opined the Roland Garros finalist in 2008 and 2009.

I really didn't see this coming. We are used to extensive coverage by Russian media within the tennis circuit, lucky to have so many good players within the elite, including Andrey Rublev. In his latest appearance, the Moscow native was chatting with Dinara Safina for one of the country's most famous portals when the conversation briefly halts from the former World No. 1. "Sorry, but it seems like you're recording from the bathroom…." And where was Andrey? Exactly, in the bathroom. A funny moment that quickly led to the clip being shared on social media.

Dinara Safina is back. The former world number one in the WTA already tried her luck in a brief coaching stint in 2025, coaching Diana Shnaider for just a month. That experience didn't go well, and Marat's sister decided to take a break... until this December brings us a new and interesting partnership: she will be the new coach of Polina Kudermetova, who recently switched nationalities (from Russian to Uzbek) and is considered one of the circuit's top talents. A stimulating duo.

A total purpose of amendment and stepping out of his comfort zone is what Alexander Zverev needs to do. His initiative to work, at least on a punctual basis, with Toni Nadal, has been applauded by the majority of the tennis world, although many were also skeptical due to their different characters. One of them is Dinara Safina, former world number 2, coach of Shnaider until a few weeks ago, and sister of Safin. "Toni is very direct, I am not sure how willing Sascha will be to adapt to his way of working. Everything will depend on that, on his willingness to listen, change patterns on and off the court, as well as try new things," she said on tennis365.com.

Just one month after their collaboration began, Diana Shnaider has decided to part ways as coach with Dinara Safin. The former world number 2 is not present at the WTA 1000 Rome 2025 alongside her compatriot, who simply stated that Marat's sister had returned to her home in Barcelona because she needed to, affirming they are no longer working together, as reported by Tennis.com.

Return of bells within the WTA circuit. It is led by Dinara Safina, who was once number one in the world and reached three Grand Slam finals in the late 2000s and early 2010s. After some years away from the circuit, the Russian has committed to coaching Diana Shnaider, currently ranked number 12 in the world, as confirmed by her new pupil on social media. A prestigious partnership coinciding with the arrival of Marat Safin, Dinara's brother, to the ATP circuit alongside Andrey Rublev. The only sibling duo to have been number one in ATP-WTA simultaneously is now returning to the coaching bench... how can we not get excited?

Daniil Medvedev needs to reinvent himself if he wants to once again confidently aim for great achievements. This is his own opinion expressed in his latest press conference with the media, and Dinara Safina also shares the same view. The former player is closely monitoring the progress of her compatriot. "I saw him very tired in Turin, and that greatly affects his emotional state. He needs rest; I believe a couple of good victories can give him a lot of confidence, but the stars will have to align if he wants to win another Grand Slam. There is a lot of competition," she stated on TennisMajors.
