She’s well aware of how good she is
Following her 6-3, 6-3 win over Linette on Saturday, which coincided with her 16th birthday, Andreeva said in an interview with the Tennis Channel this breakthrough week is not a big shock for her.
"I'm not really surprised with my level, because I know the way I can play on the court ... but of course, I didn't expect to be here and go this far,” she admitted.
Speaking to WTA Insider in Madrid after her second-round win, Andreeva said: “Everyone was telling me they (high-ranked players) are playing the same level as you, they are just more consistent. Their mental level is different but the game-level is almost the same.”
Andreeva was ranked outside the top 300 when she began playing ITF in April. She will rise to at least 117 in the world when the new rankings are released next week.
