Mirra Andreeva, the rising star of tennis, recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. The 16-year-old Russian shared her awe-inspiring experience on social media, posting a video and photos that captured her every moment at the iconic campus.
Andreeva’s visit included a tour of the sprawling complex, where she marveled at the buildings named after legendary athletes like Michael Jordan, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and Serena Williams. She also got a glimpse of historic sports memorabilia, including kits and trophies that showcased the rich legacy of the brand.
Despite her recent withdrawal from the Miami Open due to arm tendonitis, Andreeva’s enthusiasm for the sport was evident throughout her visit. She tried on her upcoming apparel, shot hoops, and hit forehands for the cameras, demonstrating her passion and dedication to tennis.
Andreeva’s trip to Nike came after a challenging start to her sophomore season. After reaching the quarterfinals in Brisbane and the fourth round of the Australian Open, she suffered back-to-back first-round exits in Dubai and Indian Wells. However, her visit to the Nike headquarters provided a much-needed boost of inspiration and motivation.
As she gears up for the clay season, where she made her breakthrough run to the Madrid Open fourth round last year, Andreeva is determined to return to form. Her visit to Nike has undoubtedly fueled her desire to succeed and reach even greater heights in the sport.
