Russian player Mirra Andreeva has a quirky personality. A frequent guest on Daria Kasatkina’s vlog, this WTA star has previously brought plenty of fun and entertainment to viewers. This time, she delivered another dose of laughter, but her response subtly hinted at a crucial issue in the sport. As Andreeva delves into this topic, she leaves a big question for the tennis community: Are players truly happy with their professional lives?

Andreeva had an interesting revelation about her future plans. She appeared on Daria Kasatkina’s famous vlog, What The Vlog, and shared a quirky insight. Andreeva had a relatively moderate 2024 season, winning one singles title at the UniCredit Lasi Open in Romania and earning a silver medal in the Paris Olympics doubles alongside Diana Shnaider. She attended all four Grand Slams, and although she didn’t win any, she showcased her skills by reaching the semifinals of the French Open. Andreeva’s China Open run ended in the quarterfinals, and she now finds herself in Wuhan for the Wuhan Open, where she is set to face her sister Erika today. Before that match, Mirra Andreeva made an intriguing revelation.

When Kasatkina asked her about future plans, she said, “I hope that I can finish the end of this season really fast and really good. And I want to go to rest and be alone.”  Andreeva’s response surprised Kasatkina and she asked again, “You’re tired of everyone?” to which adorable Andreeva had a quirky response. She said, “Yes.” WTA’s official Instagram profile shared the video as a snippet of the players’ visit to China. “Tour life in Beijing! 🎬 Go behind the scenes of the 2024 China Open, watch the full video now on YouTube!” they added as the caption.

Coming from the same national heritage, Kasatkina and Andreeva share a close bond. Mirra Andreeva has previously helped Kasatkina with her vlog’s content, as Kasatkina revealed during their 2024 Madrid Open run. She praised her colleague and had only compliments for her.

Daria Kasatkina called Mirra Andreeva “a piece of gold”

When Kasatkina defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the Madrid Open’s fourth round, she had an interview with Tennis Channel’s host Prakash Amritraj. When Amritraj asked her about her favorite guest on her vlog, Kasatkina named Mirra Andreeva. Kasatkina also revealed that Andreeva had helped her with “amazing” content and expressed her desire to have the WTA No. 19 as a frequent guest on her videos.

“So, it’s just finished the first week. We already got our 15 minutes of content. It’s going to be good from the first week. We’re going to have a piece of gold there. Mirra Andreeva, I swear, this girl is a piece of gold. You have to ask her every single time to come here. She will give you everything. Amazing. I want to have her own vlog every single week. Honestly, no, she’s so cool. She’s so cool,” said Kasatkina. After this statement, it wasn’t hard for fans to understand the bond between these two Russian players.

Mirra Andreeva’s response to Daria Kasatkina’s question highlighted the struggles players face. While many have spoken about how hectic scheduling affects their mental health, Andreeva’s candid reply drew attention to a similar aspect. However, for now, the WTA No. 19 needs to focus on the Wuhan Open and finish her season well before enjoying the rest she dreams about.
