Впечатляет ее техника, заданная тренерами, а родители подарили ей в 14 лет великолепное телосложение, которым она успешно пользуется).
Удачи ей в сезоне 2024....

She won two consecutive J30s in Sweden.
back in March, and there's been no activity from her...

 

[Sqaer]

J60 KRANJ has been playing since August 6, first tournament at this level, good luck to her.

 

[Sqaer]

Won her first J60 tournament in KRANJ, next is J60 MARIBOR, J100 BARCELONA all on the ground.

 

[Sqaer]

Wow. Maria just thrashed the top seed 6-0 6-0 in the J60 Maribor.

I would like to see this first seed, I hope she didn't play with a pacifier in her mouth.)

 

[Sqaer]

Maria takes her second title in two weeks and goes to Barcelona to play against more skillful opponents, there she will have to qualify, which is a bit funny .....
19 wins and zero losses is very impressive.

 

[Sqaer]

Maria finished her tour in Barcelona ) gained experience on not very native ground surface and became 349 racket, lost two finalists of tournaments, now we are waiting for her on her native hard court.

[Sqaer]

Maria is still a child, I watched her play recently in Kazan in the final of the tournament, after each mistake looks at the parent with a questioning expression )
She is just too physically developed, her psyche is obviously not keeping up with it

 

[Sqaer]

Masha advances to her first J100 final without noticing third seed ZHANG-QIAN
Wei
6:0 6:2
Too bad there are no broadcasts of the junior tour.

 

[Sqaer]

Покажите мне хоть одного юниора, который не смотрит на тренера/маму, когда возникают проблемы в игре))) ....ну серьёзно? Я достаточно её игр смотрел, всё там в порядке с менталкой.

Well inside she has no rivals of her age, but abroad she was shown only twice in France and Sweden, so you can not watch a lot of games with her participation.
One hope that she will start to qualify for the Junior Grand Slams.

 

[Sqaer]

Well with the first j100 Maria, it is interesting how will play j200 right from the quals, I think next year she will focus on j200 and J300, well and the ground is her weak spot so far.

 

[Sqaer]

The match was much more difficult than a week ago with her, tomorrow will be a test playing with the first seeded YUHAN Wang, it will be the 11th game in a row, every day ...
Today is a doubles match with Anna Bazderova.

 

[Sqaer]

Maria overlooks the first seed 6-0 6-2, perhaps a Russian derby awaits in the semifinals, Victoria Milovanova

 

[Sqaer]

Win 7-6 6-0
Maria held out in the first set, regularly losing her serve and taking Victoria's serve, in the second set 17-year-old Milovanova fell apart, or Maria showed her hunter's instinct) Congratulations to Masha...

 

[Sqaer]

Победа 6-3 2-6 4-6
Проснувшись, я увидел на табло, что Мария проигрывает 6-3 2-0) но Маша боец конечно, с ее первым титулом j200 поездка в Китай оказалась удачной, плюс 300 очков

Maria is now the 3rd highest ranked 2010-born player

JWR 159 (+114)

(However, she is only two weeks inside 2010 so most stat-heads will also be ranking her in a rolling-year based on mid-year dates, or some other formula as, at this age, it makes a lot of difference)

This is purely for statistics, I'm more interested in whether Masha can keep her winning percentage above 90 next season.
And the main goal for juniors is to get on the list of participants of Grand Slams without qualification.
The same example of Mirra, who won very little in juniors, shows that junior tennis is its own separate world.
