In an episode we released almost two years ago, Viv sat down with then 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva ahead of Wimbledon 2024. She was one of the stars of the moment, having just reached her first Grand Slam semifinal at Roland Garros and rising to the brink of the top 20. Shortly after, she captured her first career WTA singles title in Iasi, then won an Olympic silver medal in doubles at the Paris 2024 Games. In this interview Andreeva showcased her strikingly mature personality and unique perspective on the game, discussing her love of all surfaces, comparisons with Martina Hingis, and working with former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez, as well as what she was reading and studying. Within two years, Andreeva has risen to become the sport’s newest Grand Slam champion with her recent victory at Roland Garros, making this a particularly fascinating listen given she alludes to the mindset which would ultimately propel her to a major title. (Episode originally published 5 August 2024).
