"They decide what to do with the money": Andreeva's prize money to be dealt with by her parents after whirlwind run
WTA
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.”

- Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media?
