Townsend is amazing to watch, cant wait for her to climb the rankings this year and win some titles!
Mirra is good today
Mirra , mirra ,,,,
16 year old girl beat 28 year old Serena look alike.
I'm sure you will go far in this turnament please stay consistant mirra❤❤
Shocking editing..
😬😬😬🤮🤮🤮👎
The futur number one for sure !
How you gonna play tennis weighing 500lbs?
Tennis as it should be
Taylor really gave her a run for her money. The both showed a lot of grit.
So Mirra won the match, yet it she barely won the points, according to highlights 🤷🏻🤦
Townsend too chubby for tennis
well done young Lady ❤
So many women who can‘t move their legs or feet are top 100 how is this possible
Who’s making these highlights 😂 3-1 to 5-6 instantly like nothing happened
Fat can help Townsend hit harder but makes her movement slow. If she loses 10 kg would she play better or worse?)
Great fighting for the teen! I usually root for the up and coming youngsters.
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.
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.
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.
A very big future is coming for Mirra Andreeva, Do you agree?
Nice highlights
3rd set Mirra behind 1-3 0-30
Next point she is 6-5 40-15
Andreeva is too small and skinny to win with BIG 3 – typical prefinal player xd
16 years old , play so well …I see a STAR on the rise..Mirra Andreeva everyone
