Mirra Andreeva had an important apology to make right after winning the Indian Wells title.<\/b><\/p>\n
Looking to her coaching team, she said sorry for being “as you like to say, a little brat” before her match against world number one Aryna Sabalenka.<\/b><\/p>\n
It’s easy to forget Andreeva is just 17. She is playing with the maturity of a seasoned professional – and already cleaning up at some of the biggest tournaments on the WTA Tour.<\/p>\n
Having become the youngest player to win a WTA 1000 event when she triumphed in Dubai last month, she continued her form in Indian Wells and lifted the trophy on Sunday with her 12th successive victory.<\/p>\n
Impressive, right? <\/p>\n
But her achievement is made even more remarkable by the fact she beat Iga Swiatek <\/b>and Sabalenka – the world’s top two players – over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The way she regrouped after dropping the second set 6-1 to Swiatek was impressive, as was her mental fortitude after losing the first set of the final against Sabalenka.<\/p>\n
No wonder the prodigiously talented teenager is being tipped as a future world number one – and Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n
Talk naturally leads to which Slam that is most likely to happen at, as it will with Britain’s Jack Draper,<\/b> who triumphed in the men’s final.<\/p>\n
In truth, it could be any of the four, as Andreeva possesses a skillset suited to any surface.<\/p>\n
The Russian agrees, saying: “I like to play on clay, I like to play on hard, I like to play on grass. So I can say that all three of them are my favourites.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
