Mirra Andreeva, the 16-year-old tennis prodigy, is currently taking part in the 2023 French Open. She has already made it to the third round of the tournament after getting past Diane Parry in the second round on June 1. Andreeva recently talked about Roger Federer being her idol, but she has started looking up to Rafael Nadal after the 2022 Roland-Garros.

In the post-match interview, Mirra Andreeva was asked about her tennis idols while growing up. She replied,” Roger, he has always been my idol. He’s always been my No. 1, but after Roland Garros in 2022 when Rafa, won it, I don’t know why, but in my head, everything is turned. Now, Rafa and Roger, they’re in the first place, but I don’t want to offend Novak,”.

Mirra Andreeva also mentioned Novak Djokovic in the first place, along with Roger and Nadal, out of respect for the Serbian great and to avoid any unnecessary questions. But in her heart, Andreeva roots for Roger and Nadal.
