Mirra Andreeva, the famed Russian teenager, finally donned her Nike jacket with the phrase 'I want to thank myself' after triumphing at the Adelaide Open. This jacket, a gift from Nike, had been tucked away since her last title win at Indian Wells in March.

Following her victories at prominent WTA 1000 tournaments in Dubai and Indian Wells, Andreeva received the custom jacket. It traveled with her to numerous events, only seeing the light after her recent Adelaide victory, bringing her quote, inspired by rapper Snoop Dogg, to the forefront.

Coached by tennis luminary Conchita Martinez, Andreeva attributed her win to hard work and a revamped mindset. Overcoming a challenging stint in Asia, Andreeva's dedication, both physically and mentally, is evident as she prepares to face Croatian competitor Donna Vekic in Melbourne.
