That Andreeva girl, she plays that tennis thing, you know? She’s just a little slip of a thing, not even a woman yet, only 17 years old. Born in 2007, that makes her a spring chicken. They say she was born in some place called Krasnoyarsk, in Russia. Big country, Russia. Lots of snow, I reckon. She is Mirra Andreeva, a Russian tennis player.
This Mirra, she’s a young’un, but she’s got spunk. She’s playin’ against grown women, and sometimes she even wins! She plays tennis with her sister. I saw it on the TV. Her big sister Erika beat her in some big match in Wuhan. That’s in China, you know. Sounds like a made-up place, don’t it?
They say Erika only lost four of them game things to Mirra. And that was Erika’s second big win against a real good player. Good for her, I say. Beating your little sister, that’s somethin’ else. That Mirra, she’s the younger one. Just 16 years old. I hear Mirra beat someone called Xiyu Wang. That girl also plays tennis. And Mirra will play her sister, Erika in the next match.
She’s just a little thing, that Mirra Andreeva. But she can hit that ball somethin’ fierce. I seen her play on that clay. You know, that red dirt they got over there in Europe? She was playing tennis on clay this time. She was playing her first match on clay this season. But she’s good, real good for a little thing.
One time, she almost lost, but then she came back and won! They say she was down to her last chance. She saved a match point, whatever that is. Then she went on and won the whole thing. That was at the Australian Open, that big tennis match they have down under. They say she plays tennis very well.
Last year, this Mirra, she played another girl, named Alina Korneeva. They played for a long, long time. Over three hours! Can you believe it? Swattin’ that ball back and forth for three hours. Must be tiring. It seems that Alina Korneeva and Mirra are both very good at playing tennis.
I heard that Mirra also played someone called Barbora Krejcikova, some big shot from the French Open. Mirra won the first part of that game, the first set. I don’t know what happened after that, but she must be pretty good to be playin’ against a champion. I don’t understand tennis very much.
I like to watch her play, though. It’s exciting to see a young person do so good. She’s got a long way to go, but she’s off to a good start. Hope she keeps it up. That Mirra Andreeva, she’s gonna be somethin’ someday. You just wait and see. This girl’s tennis career will be long and great. She is only 17.
- Mirra Andreeva, only 17.
- She plays tennis.
- She played her sister Erika.
- She played for three hours with Alina.
- She played on clay.
Mirra Andreeva, that’s the name. Remember it. That little Russian girl, she plays that tennis, and she’s gonna go far. It’s clear that this girl will have a good future in tennis.
She even played against that Wang girl. Wang Xiyu, I think her name is. Mirra won that one too. She’s got a good swing, that Mirra. She will have a great tennis future. She is still a child. But she can win.
I don’t know much about this tennis game, but I know what I see. And what I see is a girl who’s got a fire in her belly. She wants to win, and she’s not afraid to work for it. You can see that when she plays tennis. She is still so young. She’s gonna be a big star, that Mirra Andreeva. You just watch.
Well, I gotta go now. My stories are done for today. But you remember that name: Mirra Andreeva. She’s a tennis player. You’ll be hearin’ it again, I guarantee it. This girl plays very good tennis.
