Mirra Andreyeva: My Strong Serve Is a Result of Hard Work and Dedication

The sixth-ranked tennis player in the world, Russian athlete **[Mirra Andreeva](https://example.com)**, discussed how she improved her serve and the challenges she faced in the third round of Roland Garros. Mirra secured a victory over **Yulia Putintseva** with a score of 6-3, 6-1.

**»We’ve noticed that your serve has significantly improved. What contributed to this – increased strength or simply growing taller? And were there any rough patches for you today?»**
**»We began to focus intensively on my serve during preseason before the tournaments in Australia. We really put in a lot of effort on both my first and second serves. I believe that over time I’ve grown taller, and my arms have gotten stronger. Collectively, these factors have led to an improvement in my serve. Without diligent training, I wouldn’t have achieved such a strong serve.»**

«At the start of the match, I encountered some minor issues, particularly with my second serve. I was pleased with how quickly I managed to resolve them. There were a few misunderstandings with Conchita; I asked her what I should do, and she seemed to have a suggestion. Then she said everything was fine, but I replied, ‘How can everything be fine when I’ve already hit two double faults?’ During the match, I managed to find my rhythm, and everything fell into place,» Andreeva explained at the press conference.
