"Maybe to be in the top 50": Andreeva sets goal for rest of WTA season during Lausanne run after remarkable start to tour life
WTASaturday, 29 July 2023 at 20:30
Russia’s young tennis star Mirra Andreeva has revealed her
goal for the rest of the year.
The 16-year-old has been very impressive in her very short
career at the highest level and is coming after an impressive Wimbledon 2023.
Andreeva was quoted in a report recently where she stated
that her goal is not to cement her spot in the top 50 women players.
"At the beginning of the year, I wanted to be in the
top 70,” she said. “But now I'm 66 so one goal is done. But till the end of the
year, maybe to be in the top 50.
"If I can do it, it would be amazing for me for
sure, but If not, I have maybe 20 more years to do that. So I think I will get
a chance to be top 50."
The Krasnoyarsk-born was eventually knocked out of the third
Grand Slam of the year after losing to America’s Madison Keys with a score of
6-3, 7-6, 6-2.
Andreeva also recently took part in the Swiss Open where she
was knocked out of the competition after losing to Anna Bondár of Hungary in
the second round with a score of 7-6, 6-3.

- This person has arguably always been a 'problem personality'. Rarely, if ever, has he been The Solution to any matter in sports. More often combative and accusatory via media blurbs and texts. As for his "great success" as a coach -- the planets were aligned in his favor the day The Williams Family signed on to him. The William sisters were going to succeed regardless of his, or anyone else's, input. If you want to know how other players' have been affected by his "coaching" simply study the graphics on a chart. Average results, with a degree of combativeness and animosity in every camp. His "success" is entirely attributed to the natural Williams talent(s). Not unlike Raducanu's claim to fame of winning one title.
- Quinwen learned it's better to have friends in tennis. Happy to see she has changed her attitude on the circuit.
- Remind her the racquet is in HER hand, not any coach.
- My advice to Coco is take a few months off from the tour and focus on the serve. If MacMillan is not producing the expected results, relieve him of his duties and hire someone else. To hell with the rankings and what people will say. Just take a break. Mental health is far more important than money.
- Eventually (as other sports have done) WTA will be forced to make DNA / Gender Testing mandatory in order to protect and promote fairness in competitions. End of so-called 'controversy'.
- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level. BTW: No media has reported her last sentence to the physio. They kept asking questions and she abruptly told them: "I know what it is; I'm ready to go now".
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
