This year's Dubai tournament welcomed Andreeva, the youngest WTA 1000 women's singles champion. She played well in this tournament, defeating top players such as Swiatek and Rybakina on the way to the championship to claim the second title of her career and the highest level to date.

With a strong performance last week, Andreeva, who has 1,000 event points, broke into the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time, sharing her performance in the final, Andreeva said that she was 100% mental, "The hardest thing for me is to be able to stay positive and force myself to stay 100% focused when things are not going well. ”

"I was like that in the final because I didn't feel very good on the court. I even missed some balls that I don't normally miss. But I still tell myself that you can choose to be affected by negativity, or you can choose to be 100 per cent in the game and fight for every point. ”

"If there's anything wrong, it's okay, forget about it and play point by point." It was this belief that helped Andreeva win the eventual title, and this week's world ninth, she has already achieved the goal she set for herself at the beginning of the season (to be in the top 10).

In this week's latest world rankings, the top three are Sabalenka, Swiatek and Gauff, followed by Pegula, Case, Paulini, Rybakina, Zheng Qinwen, Andreeva and Navarro.

Many players congratulated Andreeva on winning the championship, but Serena Williams, who has been retired for a long time, has caused widespread discussion because of a photo she posted and the accompanying copy.

She posted a photo of herself when she was 17 years old, in which she held the US Open women's singles championship trophy. This was in the last century (the 1999 US Open), when she defeated Seles, Davenport and Hingis at the US Open on home soil, winning her first Grand Slam final, setting the record for the lowest seeded player (No. 7 seed) at the time.

Serena Williams posted this photo with the topic "You at 17 without cheating", perhaps literally everyone understands it differently, and it is really difficult not to think about it at this juncture.

Of course, Serena Williams' achievements at the age of 17 and before the age of 17 are indeed extraordinary, including five women's singles trophies, including a Grand Slam (US Open), Indian Wells, Paris Indoors, Los Angeles Championship, Munich; There are two women's doubles trophies, both at Grand Slam level (French Open and US Open).

At present, the topic "You at 17 without cheating" posted by Serena Williams has been interacted with by nearly a million people, so what do you think?(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
