Mirra Andrejew spoke after the match with Magdalena Fręch. About Polish? Not a word
Immediately after the match Mirrir Andriejew, she behaved in an elegant way, applauding Magdalena Fęch, leaving the court. However, in an interview on the court, in which she briefly referred to meeting a Polish woman, she never mentioned her. – I would say that I was very nervous in this match. I am still fighting to find my best tennis in Madrid. I love playing here, I love this court and the fact that you came to support me today, because thanks to this I feel stronger on the court. I am happy to be promoted to the next round – she noted.

– How would I react two years ago that I would be number seven in the world? I would say it's a madness, a joke. This is crazy because two years ago I played my first match here on the central court and Aryna “killed” me. I am happy that I won another match on this amazing court – said Andrejew, referring to the match with Sabalena in Madrid from 2023, which lost in the fourth round 3: 6, 1: 6.
In addition, the Russian has undertaken to learn Spanish, because she currently knows some of the little cultural words that she caught from her trainer Conchita Martinez.
