Mirra Andreeva, the 16-year-old Russian sensation is taking the Tennis world by storm. Mira, who comes from Russia has already made it to the third round of two major slams this year and is looking forward to making it to the fourth round of Wimbledon.

The Russian Tennis Chief Shamil Tarpischev has hailed the young Russian for her mental toughness at such a young age. He claimed that Mirra is already at a high level in terms of temperament despite her age. Shmail also praised the 16-year-old for being patient and having good attention on the court. Andreeva is the third youngest player to reach Wimbledon in the open era after Kim Clijsters in 1999 and Coco Gauff in 2019.

The Russian Tennis Chief talks about how the 16-year-old doesn’t give a damn about anyone who talks and writes about her or who she plays against. ‘’She doesn’t give a damn about who talks and writes about her and against whom to play,’’ said Shamil (via Daily Express). Shamil went on to add that her psyche is very stable and she is mentally very strong.

Shamil talked about her match against Barbora saying the Czech had an advantage over the game but Mirra coped with both the pressure and the opponent.

At such a young age the 16-year-old has been a sensation with her skills, her attitude, and professionalism off the court. Her game is often compared to the Tunisian trailblazer Ons Jabeur, and how both of them win most of the points with smooth and swift drop shots.
