The 17-year-old’s coach Martinez herself was a reputed WTA star during the time of Steffi Graf and Monica sales. From showing her brilliance at the French Open to winning her Wimbledon, Martinez has already proved her worth. She also defeated Navratilova in the All-England Club final in 1994. Therefore, her coaching has been truly beneficial for this young Russian prodigy.

Martinez who has coached players like Karolina Pliskova, started mentoring Andreeva this season, proving her worth in Andreeva’s growing professional career. Now that Martinez joined this young Russian’s epic victory over a player like Azarenka, the whole fraternity was delighted to see the fruitfulness of the partnership.

Back in 2023, on her debut at Wimbledon, Mirra Adreeva advanced to the fourth round as a qualifier. Even though she lost despite leading Madrid Keys by a set and 4-1, she nearly earned a spot in the quarterfinals. At that time, Martinez put out a valuable piece of advice for Andreeva, “You have to have a very good group of people around you that are going to keep you humble and fit.” She further said, “You have to see next year how she will cope with defending points. The most important thing is that she keeps practising and focusing on what she has to do to get better. It’s great what she is doing now but she has to maintain it.”
