the girls were HITTING!! ❤🔥definitely my favourite match from today. Congrats Mirra!
Love this kid ,she's a fighter.
With so many dynamic, interesting, and talented players, with appealing personalities, the WTA has so many intriguing match ups, week after week. This match was AWESOME!!!
Match of the day ! 👏
Great composure from Mirra to fight back from being 1-4 down in the 3rd set... the consistent rise in her maturity is definitely impressive! 🙂
Mirra hits a flatter forehand and seeks for more aggression in her game. She is still improving and that’s nice to see for such a young talent. That’s the right way to go. Congrats girl !
This is for sure a 360 degree different kind of Mirra; compared to the last time I saw her upset, frustrated and losing. Good bounce back.
I said the same thing. She looked out of sorts last week.
She still is adjusting to the top level, i think her progress is good, she needs some defeats to gain experience
Big Mirra fan!😊
ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO THIS PRODIGY MIRRA!!! WAY TO GO GIRL!
Taylor you should be proud. Huge fan you! Been watching since almost the beginning when you were hitting in Atlanta years ago. Youre dynamite and people will see it more and more.
especially if she loses 40 lbs, she needs to follow her coaches diet advice and her mom needs to butt out (pun pun) re her diet (enabler big time) and lose 40 lbs in order to beat the medium and top players.
Well done Mira. Keep improving and keep winning young lady 💪💪💪
Excellent result. It's important she doesn't lose to the journeyman players.
especially 28 year old never has beens
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741yes journey-men.
Taylor I was rooting for you. I just love your game. You will come again. Congrats Mira.
4-1 down to 5-7 in the 3rd set.
Well done Mirra! 👏❤️
3:23 - genius
The future is being made and it is Mirra Andreeva
Mirra's my girl! 👍👍
That was a nice shake at the net after a hard-won victory. Congrats to Mirra!
You almost never see that in men
I still don't understand how Townsend is unable to lose weight and keep herself fit and slim. It has really hurt her career. Andreeva what a talent, and what determination.
The consistency in Townsend's game now is almost unreal.
Na Townsend has definitely improved but not her mental game. She nearly had it to beat Rybakina yet collapsed and now Mirra… she needs a sports psychologist😊
@@spillomina That's just a hurdle that is tough for a lot of players to overcome. Aryna had to do that to win her first GS.
Mitras game doesn’t speak teenagers. It’s so matured
She is a focused girl with nerves of steel.
I'm sure you will go far in this turnament please stay consistant mirra❤❤
I would be super anxious playing against Mirra.
❤❤❤ Mirra andreva power can't complain by Taylor congratulations Mirra 🎉🎉🎉
Love, Mirra...
Congratulations mirra this young girl is a real fighter 👏👏👏👏
So muguruza's former coach, the good looking Conchita Martinez, is now with Mirra.
Yes she is wonderful
Gg Andreeva! 🎉
The futur number one for sure !
great win
Taylor vastly underestimated Mirra’s reputation and record for clawing her way back into lost causes and in the end bottled it. The best player won.
Yeahhhh MIRRA very goood match.❤
Yes! Go Mirra! 🔥
What an excellent game, the level during the third set was like watching a semifinal in any given Masters tournament. That Townsend can hit the ball HARD, as hard as Serena used to. Great win by Andreeva, coming from behind and staying focused to win it off, against a much experienced player like Townsend. Psychologically speaking, these wins count double!
I love watching Taylor’s matches. Her and Ons, I’d gladly pay to watch all day long ❤
Любите мясо😂
andreeva one love
Good girl,Mirra!You've beaten a tough opponent
Nice highlights
3rd set Mirra behind 1-3 0-30
Next point she is 6-5 40-15
Townsend is amazing to watch, cant wait for her to climb the rankings this year and win some titles!
Super Mira, Klasse ,
Great fighting for the teen! I usually root for the up and coming youngsters.
How the hell Taylor? That was a semi choke up 3-1 in the 3rd
wanted to get to the post match buffet..
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 Yep, there's a message there! 😂
Probably was thinking of some treats awaiting her in her hotel room?
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 - yeah, especially when she found out your mom had a two hour head start.
I’m so tired of the haters! This was a great match and Taylor is doing great things!
I had a conversation with coach who worked with Taylor in the past and I told him she is my favorite player on the WTA right now. Like many of you he commented on her weight and explained she has a medical condition that makes it very difficult to lose and maintain a healthy weight.
He needn’t explain more because I have the same condition. You see tennis is an incredibly rigorous sport, especially for women. As a result many female tennis players have elevated levels of testosterone and hence why many female players tend to have a more muscular or boxy physique. While this a good thing for strength, endurance, and athleticism, for some, overtime the continued higher levels of testosterone and cortisol causes the body to hold on to extra fat. (E.g. oskapenko or Serena Williams during the latter parts of their careers)
Back in 2021 Taylor lost the extra 15-20 lbs but she’s actually playing much better now than she did then. If she wanted to do that again she would probably have to travel around with a personal chef/nutritionist which certainly not cheap and is probably why many of the higher ranking players have such a good physique.
Most of you that are saying mean things out of bitterness and ignorance because if you’re really honest with yourself, you’re probably watching the highlights because you know her story and truly admire her tenacity, courage and talent. Everyone is on their own journey and has their own motivations for playing the sport.
Nuff respect for Taylor to keep up the hard work.
See lots of comments about Taylor's weight, and aside from the pathetic snark, it's a valid point--moving extra weight around can be a liability for sure. But watching the highlights, it didn't look to me like Taylor lost any foot speed throughout the match, and she didn't look slow out there. She chased down some balls. So who knows?
Plenty of rugby and NFL players look a bit heavy but it doesn't significantly affect performance. If the weight being moved around is largely muscle it isn't as much of a hindrance as you might think. Townsend is pretty solid.
Apparently, she was never taught what is the appropriate amount of food, and has overeaten. She is only about 5'4. If she can lose about 15-20 lbs it will change her physique she will improve many aspects of her game. I noticed a match at Charleston against Azeranka, and Taylor was taking in snacks or something every time she sat. She does not need that, there is too much fat on her body that needs to be burned first. Too many calories taken in and not burned. Who knows what she ate after that match. I thought to myself, if she can stop thinking she is hungry, she might be able to think of a strategy to beat Azeranka. That was nervous eating.
@@jackwachtel-scott8000 Less weight would be better on knees and other joints, and the heart. NFL players with all that weight are not necessarily healthy . They often gorge on too much food and the wrong food.
Taylor can win Grand Slams. She's powerful like Serena Williams but she doesn't have the tactical element to her game. She needs Serena's coach to help her and she can be multiple Grand Slam winner. Right now her game lacks finesse and point construction.
WRONG! Other than gender and racial background Taylor Townsend is nothing at all like Serena Williams. At 27 Serena may have been physically bigger than most of the other woman players but she certainly was not fat. I saw her in person on a practice court and everyone was marveling at how absolutely cut she was in real life! That’s not the case with Taylor. She moves well for a big girl but that’s just it…for a big girl! She needs to either pull a Martina Navratilova and transform her body or accept that she’s only going to have limited success on tour. She’s making some money so that might be good enough.
So Mirra won the match, yet it she barely won the points, according to highlights 🤷🏻🤦
I KNEW that lose last week was going to frustrate the hell out of Mirra. She dug deep in this match against an in form Taylor. ❤
Calling her future is too soon. I don't find anything dominating in her game. Neither she has a big serve lile Rybakina, nor the powerful groundstrokes like Sabalenka. Her athleticism is above average but still nothing close to Swiatek or Gauff. She plays like Kasatkina tbh, just my perspective.
It is smart not to make predictions so soon. I see a mental focus which is good. She did not put herself out of the match when down. There were grand plans and expectations for Mugurauza and it was 2 Slams and a Final, but many more losses.
Her serve averaged 175-183 km/ h!
What exactly was "dominating" about Coco's game at 15-18? When she was bageled by Potapova and Badosa in back to back tournaments? Also, Andreeva's serve is already much better than Dasha's. Nonsensical comparison. She's still getting stronger and plays closer to the baseline than last year.
Some people look at young talents and expect them to have results like Steffi or Hingis, otherwise they aren't great. Those days are over and never coming back. Today the game is much more physically demanding, the balls are causing injuries even among top players, it's simply not possible anymore. If Mirra and her team pays attention to her mental health and physical development, she will be a top5 player within a few years, undoubtedly.
Townsend must reduce her body weigth to be more agile and athletic.. He carries a heavy load.
Taylor really gave her a run for her money. The both showed a lot of grit.
well done young Lady ❤
🎉🎉🎉 nice
Wow, I detest people coasting on the second set. Taylor let her back into the match and now it's all even going into the third.
I sincerely hope that's the last time Taylor lets a match get away like that again.
Anyone getting a set up on Mira had better put her away in the second or risk losing like this, Mira is a fighter.
who cut these highlights, that last set :/
A very big future is coming for Mirra Andreeva, Do you agree?
Tennis as it should be
4:10 quite a leap…
How did Taylor lose a 4-1 lead in the 3rd set tho!?
On the other side of the net was a player who doesn't give up.
Jawohl Bejelek 😊👍
Mirra is good today
Townsend is 20 pounds away from top-20, just a bit of a slimming down can do wonders for her
She is mentally weak. No amount of weight loss is going to change that.
She already said that she was not going to lose weight, because delicious food for her is more important than tennis.
@@LobsterFromMars
I hope she knows that the most important thing is to be healthy. And secondly, the least you could do in your chosen career is to treat it with respect by doing all you can to give it your best.
Вообще не понятно,как она двигается с таким весом,габаритами,это же бегемот,ужас!
@@LobsterFromMars I would say, most people like delicious food, but that does not mean you have to consume more than is needed for your body.
Taylor Townsend just refuses to lose 15 lbs.
Fat can help Townsend hit harder but makes her movement slow. If she loses 10 kg would she play better or worse?)
Ну это ТТ и бульдозер....молодец, Мирра справилась!
Shocking editing..
Mirra , mirra ,,,,
Sweet sundays for beauty yang star ,wish 23 year boys ,Born in May,,,😊🌷
Way to beat the cheat
¡El pequeño tiene hambre!
So many women who can‘t move their legs or feet are top 100 how is this possible
What about Dominic Stricker and Raonic? Both have been around top 100 even while visibly overweight. It's not something specific to women.
Hi tennis fans, there is a much better highlights out there! WTA version is only 5:05 and put their coaches face multiple times. Seriously, what’s important??
Yes we know, 'the truth is out there' .... but where?
16 y.o.⁉How can that be⁉ Wow!
Who’s making these highlights 😂 3-1 to 5-6 instantly like nothing happened
Man, it has to hurt for a veteran journey woman to lose to some kid.
Townsend threw it away. She needs to work on her mental game.... her only problem.... and not sure if you follow tennis, but Andreeva isn't just "some kid"
more embarrasing to lose to Dances with Pancakes.
@@sirblanka
Jesus Christ. Taylor Townsend 😂🤣😂🤣 how many mistakes do you want to make? Very poor standard when in a winning position.
💟💟
Jawohl Montgomery 😊👍
Townsend is overrated as Andreeva is not (as of yet) that great of a player.
16 year old girl beat 28 year old Serena look alike.
Townsend been trying to comeback into top 50s!😊
She's good from behind
Prevent the spoiler. Like this comment so it stays on top
Is Townsend preggo?
nope just a blimp
Nope, but your sister is. She said it could be from anyone on the football team since the room was dark.
different weights 😂
Очень тяжелый матч для Мирры. Но это не удивительно - она слишком набрала вес, ее движения не так быстры и точны. Хотя несколько потрясающих ударов она все же продемонстрировала. По чесноку - Мирре еще повезло, что ее соперница из-за своего телосложения уже не могла также эффективно играть, как в первом сете, все-таки усталость дала о себе знать. Это скорее кредит, чем настоящая победа, надеюсь, вес у Мирры придет в норму со временем.
Совсем ку-ку? Нет там проблем с весом у Мирры.
@@osmotreno Ты слепой?
She needs to have some muscle behind her shots. I think it is safe to say that being too slim is not an advantage, and too heavy is also a disadvantage. Miira needed the muscle weight to compete. Even Rybankia has gained muscle, and so has Emma. The skinny girl tennis player is not the ideal, and Mirra is no longer a junior. No muscle and strength would mean weakness and fatigue just like for a woman too fat. Look at sinner as well. Muscle gained helps his game.
@@nt4081 Дело тут скорее всего не в мускулах, а в пубертате. Девочки в этом возрасте часто немного полнеют, а потом со временем их вес приходит в норму. Хотя также нельзя исключать какие-то проблемы с диетой.
Это мускулы, они необходимы для силы удара по мячу и для подачи ! У неё нет ни грамма лишнего веса! Вы забыли, что она не модель-она теннисистка
TT is great hitter but marginal mover due to packing 40 lbs that she really needs to lose. she needs to quit following her mothers diet advice, shes an enabler, and follow her coaches diet advice in order to beat the medium and top players. hard to get to the ball if youre packing an extra 40 lbs u dont need. plain facts.
How you gonna play tennis weighing 500lbs?
Townsend too chubby for tennis
Andreeva is too small and skinny to win with BIG 3 - typical prefinal player xd
Taylor just cut off eating a buffet 😅
Beauty and the beast. Townsend looks monstrous. Serena pales in comparison with this "woman".
You are a racist loser.
Racist
DISGUSTING COMMENT!! WHY ARE SOME TROLLS SO NASTY!
who do you think is the beast? I know neither is super model. Yes one is on the heavy side but she is not an ugly woman . I've seen some on tour , and many who got Nose jobs because they were not too attractive.
Had zero idea conchita Martinez is andreeva’s new coach. I guess she moved on from muguruza
Мугуруза закончила совсем,ушла на отдых,Мартина должна помочь Мирре выйти на новый уровень.
That was 2 years ago she split with Mugu. As of 2024 Martinez was also coaching Boskova , until recently. I guess that one did not work out. Miira will be a better choice because she is mentally tough. Boskova was kind of mentally soft imo.
