“I just do some normal things”: Young sensation Mirra Andreeva reveals off-court activities after French Open quarterfinal success
ATPThursday, 06 June 2024 at 10:54
Russia’s young tennis star Mirra Andreeva has revealed that
she is just like ‘another’ teenage girl after securing her place in the semifinal
of the French Open.
The 17-year-old is often regarded as the next big thing in women’s
tennis, and she lived up to the hype after beating world number two Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinal at Roland Garros with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 6-4.
With that win, Andreeva became the youngest player since 1997 to register a place in the semifinal of a Grand Slam in the women’s singles category. She is also the youngest player since Martina Hingis in 1997 to cement a spot in the last four of the French Open.
Talking about her off-court life, Andreeva stated that she
is like a normal young girl who has to do schoolwork when she doesn’t like it.
She also stated that she likes watching TV in her spare time and that she also
spends time watching Netflix.
Mirra Andreeva defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinal of the French Open.
"I would say that I am almost like a normal teenager
because I still have to do my school that I don't like to do,” she said. "I
watch a lot of TV series in my spare time. I watch Netflix, I sometimes spend
too much time on my Instagram, or I just do some cr*p when I'm at home. I
laugh, I talk, and I just do some normal things."
Andreeva is now set to face Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in Thursday's last-four clash of the mega-event. The 28-year-old defeated the
current world number four Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinal, scoring 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
It will only be the second meeting between the two players
in professional tennis and the first in the French Open. The last time these
two players met was earlier this year at the Madrid Open, where Andreeva came
out on top with a score of 7-6, 6-4.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
