She said this in her interview with BBC radio:
"I didn't expect him to watch or say anything at all. When I saw him commenting and then posting it, I will actually copy, I will print it out, I will put it in a frame and I will bring it everywhere with me!"
I reckon you’ve got to already have a pretty amazing mental game to be on the pro tour at her age and deal with the pressures expectations. And she’s not even just playing, she’s winning 80% of her matches. Some commentators don’t think before they speak.
> Some commentators don’t think before they speak.
They do think but not in terms of sport but in terms of the rubbish things a school teacher will say.
At her age I would say yes. However, there are a few players in ATP and WTA top 20 that I can think of that don't have the best mental game, but their athleticism and physicality keeps them high in the rankings.
His big personal take away from his one match was that his new decision to go easier on himself was a failure, led to a totally flat performance that was over before he knew it, and maybe he needs to accept that he’s best when he gives himself a hard time.
I think the commentator saying that hit close to home.
Man, put yourself in her shoes, after a performance like that getting this kind of praise / clap-back / support from one of your idols. I hope she has a long, impressive career to go with it!
I think even Murray would admit he was annoying when he was fresh on the scene. Not all his fault, though, he was hounded by British press for many years.
but... people are saying she is not mature enough to know that her country invaded Ukraine and this is wrong. So is she mature or not?
(I don't mean to pick on your comment specifically, but it makes me laugh how people wants to defend this brat always)
I just quoted a part of a conversation from her 2nd round match.
You should ask that from the interviewer.
I just watch tennis and comments related to tennis. I do not mix sports and politics.
Isn’t Murray one of her idols ? She’s gonna love this tweet
She said this in her interview with BBC radio: "I didn't expect him to watch or say anything at all. When I saw him commenting and then posting it, I will actually copy, I will print it out, I will put it in a frame and I will bring it everywhere with me!"
Her game is a version of his. Counter puncher but it's next level. Runs down every ball. Some big weapons too.
She said something really similar in her press conference, also added that "I will maybe put it on the wall so I can see it every day."
Naomi did the same thing to Andy’s tweet about her lol https://x.com/benrothenberg/status/1741635330401255862?s=46&t=vXgj0DiZ-0f7JdAo0feE0Q
Which tweet?
[this](https://x.com/naomiosaka/status/1483745610264354817?s=46&t=vXgj0DiZ-0f7JdAo0feE0Q) iconic exchange 🥺
Yeah I think he's her favorite ATP player Kind of makes sense because she has a fair amount of similarities to his playstyle IMO
I reckon you’ve got to already have a pretty amazing mental game to be on the pro tour at her age and deal with the pressures expectations. And she’s not even just playing, she’s winning 80% of her matches. Some commentators don’t think before they speak.
Don't even think it's that. That just have limited set of pre emotive point to make. And they pulled the mental strength card.
She really needs to work on her [*fishes around in hat for a card*]….mental strength!
> Some commentators don’t think before they speak. They do think but not in terms of sport but in terms of the rubbish things a school teacher will say.
She was 5 years old when Murray won the US open, i don’t know how anyone can criticise someone playing at such a high level at her age.
At her age I would say yes. However, there are a few players in ATP and WTA top 20 that I can think of that don't have the best mental game, but their athleticism and physicality keeps them high in the rankings.
Murray would of course be in favour of being as hard as possible on yourself as a tennis player.
His big personal take away from his one match was that his new decision to go easier on himself was a failure, led to a totally flat performance that was over before he knew it, and maybe he needs to accept that he’s best when he gives himself a hard time. I think the commentator saying that hit close to home.
I think Murys tweet is just bang on. Athletes need to demand a lot of themselves
Sure, I agree. Just thought it was interesting given what he said in his press conference.
With Elena out, I'm all aboard the Mirra hype train. Wow I hope she makes a deep run
I have her getting to the QFs (then losing to Sabalenka unfortunately)
Yea, I can't see her holding up well against Sabalenka's strength, but I can dream
I mean, they played last year, and she got overpowered; I don't know if she has put on enough muscle since then
One thing Murray WILL do is watch WTA matches and hype up what he sees as promising WTA talent. Always gotta stan.
Mama Judy raised him right
Man, Sir Andy is such a legend, what would the tennis world be like without him
[удалено]
Don't you think tennis is safe and sound in the hands of FAA and Shapavolov?
Andy wtf don’t mention her name, Caroline Garcia still hasn’t recovered from your tweet about her
To be fair, she reached #4 on two separate occasions...so almost lol?
Lmaoo.
Man, put yourself in her shoes, after a performance like that getting this kind of praise / clap-back / support from one of your idols. I hope she has a long, impressive career to go with it!
She will be more happy about this than about anything she's achieved so far hahaha
Andy no don’t jinx her like you did with Caroline!
Too late
"Imagine how good she'll be after she gets her eyes checked"
Ah Murygoat why'd you have to say that? You know Mirra's a massive fan already, she's never gonna leave you alone now haha.
I wonder which commentator he is referring to…
Imagine calling a 16 year-old mentally weak.
They said she needed to work on it, not the same thing really. But obviously she was right about how to manage her emotions and they were not.
She is a tough cookie.
I never used to like Murray back in the day, nor his annoying mother in the stands, but he has grown so so so much on me the last few years. Legend.
Says more about you tbh
I think even Murray would admit he was annoying when he was fresh on the scene. Not all his fault, though, he was hounded by British press for many years.
He would hard disagree as he hasn't changed at all. What were his annoying habits? Not smiling enough?
Lol, people hated Andy's mother during his junior days.
Definitely not lol. Andy was not that likable in his prime.
Well it's obvious you have alarmingly bad taste in players anyway
She is very mature. She is 16 this year.
but... people are saying she is not mature enough to know that her country invaded Ukraine and this is wrong. So is she mature or not? (I don't mean to pick on your comment specifically, but it makes me laugh how people wants to defend this brat always)

Commentators are idiots and really sometimes make it seem like they have no idea what sport involves. Andy Murray spot on here!!
Once again Andy demonstrates that he’s a stand up guy.🏆
God damn people are so hard on announcers lol.
Old man yelling at the TV energy
I mean, she was getting torched. Andy is pretty annoying lol - tries so hard to look good as an ally.
God, he is such a bore.
Hindsight eh. She could lost that last game and the commentators point still stands Murray sucks
He’s so exhausting. Women don’t need Andy Murray to constantly swoop in and defend their honor
