Adicto al sonido de la pelota sobre la pista y al de las teclas mientras transmito mi pasión. Soy feliz hablando de tenis e intento que los demás lo sean leyéndome.
Mirra Andreeva wants to take a further step in her progression this season, and the spontaneity she shows in press conferences is almost as surprising as the one she displays on the court. The 17-year-old Russian revealed interesting aspects of her routine after reaching the second round of the 2025 Australian Open. "It's hard to work with me because I'm very particular. If on the first day of a tournament I've eaten rice with chicken, for example, I'll eat that for the rest of the days, even if I don't feel like it. I must say that what I like the most is rice with a little parmesan on top," she said before talking about a historical tennis player with whom she sees similarities.
"I've always liked the way Martina Hingis played because I see similarities between us. She was very intelligent on the court, and I believe I'm showing that too. The difference is that Hingis was never afraid to be aggressive. This year, I set myself the goal of doing that too, being more direct and finishing points at the net," she concluded.

Qinwen Zheng is already in the second round of the Australian Open 2025 and offered some interesting reflections at a press conference, acknowledging that she has learned to compete in a peak state of nervousness. "The tennis court is where I want to be, and when I compete in a Grand Slam, I feel like I'm living a dream. It has helped me to manage those emotions by being at peace with myself off the court as well, thanks to reading, writing, and singing. I have been very nervous for days before the tournament started, but I have learned to play better the more nervous I am," said the Chinese player.

Nicolás Jarry was out of competition for a year after testing positive for doping in 2020, something he has not forgotten or completely overcome, despite having managed to regain a high level and compete head-to-head with the best. "I would have wished to have the same support that Sinner received when I was in his situation. It's something that affects me personally; I try to work on it and forget about it, but it still affects me," the man who will be the opponent of Jannik Sinner in the first round of the 2025 Australian Open said to LaTercera.
