Yevgeny Kafelnikov

Russian tennis legend Yevgeny Kafelnikov has criticized young star Mirra Andreeva, stating she has no chance of winning a Grand Slam or reaching world No. 1 with her current level of play. The comments follow Andreeva's fourth-round loss at the 2026 Australian Open to Elina Svitolina. Kafelnikov urged significant improvements for the 18-year-old to fulfill her potential.
