The winner of the US Open 2023 in doubles among juniors, 18-year-old Anastasia Guryeva, spoke about her idols in tennis.
According to the athlete, since childhood she admired the character and will to win of Maria Sharapova.
— In tennis, mentality and psyche now play an important role. Especially for women. And since childhood, I watched Maria’s matches, I always admired the way she plays and fights to the end. When people ask me what I do, I answer tennis. Everyone says that I look like Maria Sharapova. Most likely due to his height, maybe a little outwardly.
I’m flattered! People often told me: “Do you want to be like Sharapova?” I answered that I wanted to be better. You should always strive for more! I could also watch clips from matches—from her victorious Wimbledon, for example—especially since videos from her meetings often flash before my eyes. I remember Martina Hingis and the Williams sisters. After that, you understand what you need to strive for, how much you need to work. And this inspires,” Guryeva is quoted as saying by “Championship.”
