"I don't think I am going to ask any questions. It was working pretty well what we did before.

We have to keep it the same and not change anything," ujar Mirra Andreeva.

Petenis Rusia ini mengantisipasi bahwa babak final mendatang akan berlangsung sangat menghibur sekaligus menyulitkan bagi dirinya.

"We are going to prepare our best for the final. The final is going to be very entertaining and very tough.

I am nervous, but at the same time I am very, very excited," kata Mirra Andreeva.

Di sisi lain, Andreeva secara konsisten berupaya menghindari pembahasan terkait isu perang yang melibatkan negaranya dan lebih memilih fokus pada aspek olahraga.

"It doesn't matter who I play. I really try to play against the ball that is coming at me," tutur Mirra Andreeva.

Sementara itu, Marta Kostyuk sejak awal turnamen terus memanfaatkan platform media untuk menyuarakan kondisi memprihatinkan di negaranya akibat perang.

"The biggest thing I can do is sit here and talk about [the war] so more people can find out about it and don't get used to this terrible life," kata Marta Kostyuk.
