Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva: I will give the prize money for winning the tournament to my dad.

Andreeva, who is only 17 years old, managed to defeat the Dane Clara Tauson in the final of the WTA tournament in Dubai. The match ended with a score of 7:6 (7:1), 6:1. For the athlete, this is her second title in her career and the first in the WTA 1000 category. As a prize, the Russian received an amount of 597 thousand dollars. According to the young athlete, since she is not yet 18 years old and does not have a bank account, she decided to give this money to her father, who manages the family's finances. "I will only ask for a little for some small gift for myself. However, I haven't decided yet on what exactly," the Russian tennis player told "Kommersant". It was previously reported that to achieve victory in the match, Andreeva spent 1 hour and 46 minutes on the hard court. She made history by becoming the youngest winner of a "thousand" tournament.
