Speaking after her victory, Andreeva said that she was more mature than before. She admitted that she had changed a lot, adding that it was visible on the court. It has been a remarkable turnaround for the youngster, who lost her girls singles final in the same month in 2023 in a heartbreaking fashion. Andreeva has now scored first in the top 10 in the Australian Open.
