Russia’s young tennis star Mirra Andreeva’s impressive run at Wimbledon 2023 finally came to an end on Monday.

The 16-year-old suffered a defeat against America’s Madison Keys in the round of 16 with a score of 2-6, 7-6, 6-2.

Because of her marvellous run at the mega-event, Andreeva ended up taking home a more than decent chunk of £207,000.

While talking about that, the Krasnoyarsk-born revealed that she does not have any plans to use that money and because of her age, her parents will decide what.

“Me, for now, no, I don't have any plans,” she said. “Everything just goes to my parents and they decide what to do with the money. Yeah, but most of it I think will go to tennis, to the tickets, to pay for the coaches, for everything. Maybe I will buy something to myself, but I'm not sure yet.”

Andreeva defeated China’s Wang Xiyu in her Wimbledon opener with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. In the round of 64, she won the clash against Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejcikova, courtesy of being awarded a walkover.

In the third round, Andreeva got the better of fellow Russian player Anastasia Potapova in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 7-5.
