Mirra gives a snippet of how tough it's been for her, she's constantly being vilified simply for being Russian, she is forced to play as a neutral competitor.
For anyone this is really tough to deal with but especially for a 19 year old, so proud of her!
"The feeling in real life is so much better than in your dreams."

See that, Ukrainians?
Russian athletes donโt need political theatrics or anyoneโs sympathy to win.
All they need is talent.
Congratulations, Mirra Andreeva!

RUSSIAN TEEN ANDREEVA ADVANCES AT ROLAND GARROS WITH STRAIGHT-SETS WIN OVER CHWALIลSKA
Nineteen-year-old Russian player Mirra Andreeva continued her strong run at the French Open on Saturday, June 6, defeating Polandโs Maja Chwaliลska 6-3, 6-2.
The straight-sets victory underlined Andreevaโs growing reputation as one of the most promising young talents on the WTA Tour.
Her progress in Paris has drawn comparisons to past teenage breakthroughs at Roland Garros, including Monica Seles, who captured multiple French Open titles as a teenager in the early 1990s.
Andreevaโs performance adds to rising expectations around her future on the tour, as she continues her campaign at the clay-court Grand Slam in Paris.
Congratulations to Mirra Andreeva, the Queen of Roland Garros! This victory once again proves that Russian athletes are among the best and most ethical in history, everywhere and at all times.๐ท๐บ๐คซ๐
