Nastya is 42yo, she retired in 2007 (16 years ago). This affair should have been massacre of the innocents! Still she looked quite competitive and you had to solve a few problems to overpower her. And her great sense of humor... Good for Nastya!

Nastya Myskina was one of the reasons I followed women's tennis back then. Her groundstrokes were laser-like and her anticipation was second only to Hingis. There's no player who plays with her elegance and grace at the moment in the women's game aside from maybe Rybakina. I miss her very much.

You don't even know what nostalgia this brings forth for me! Myskina was one of the first players I ever saw play on tv and eversince I've been watching tennis. She was just incredibly cool. Such a unique personality and game. You are so lucky you got to meet her and play with her!

She’s a joy to watch and honestly her humor is too cute 😍 you’re so lucky to have gotten to hit with such a legend 🥰

Great seeing Anastasia! She was one of my fav players to watch growing up. She had a great a backhand, speed and anticipation during her peak.

She has very cheeky humor!

I am watching WTA tennis since 2002, but I had no clue Anastasia has such an amazing humor, love it! :D

She is in remarkably good shape after not seeing her for 20 years. It's like she hasn't aged. She's amazing.

Still these so lovely eyes, Nastya ! I was rooting for her at the french, no matter how deep the got in the draw, for years. We (french) got to know her a bit better, thanks to on court /studio interviewes. She had such a charming mix of being shy, yet with a good sense of humour and these beautiful somewhat mischievous eyes... wasn't hard to root for her 🙂 ! Nice to see she is ageing so gracefully. Superb tennis academy ! I love those wooden arches, and the view and natural light this "transparent wall" is offering.

I loved watching her in the early 2000s. I saw her play a world team tennis match in 2002 in Springfield, Missouri, she wasn’t a slam champion yet but she was becoming a top player at the time. Anyways I remember after the match going to get her autograph and there wasn’t even hardly a line to get it because John McEnroe was also there so I got to speak to her for a second. Nothing much I think I just told her she played really well and congrats and she said thank you but I remember her being really friendly and kind and smiling and stuff and it seemed very genuine. Love her sense of humor here!

what this kinda reinforced to me was that one has to have a really gritty, unflappable, self-assured, and airtight personality to get anywhere within the WTA. even with the obvious power-difference at hand, she didn't lose one step of self-assurance; it was like she owned just being there. i can imagine any number of other people just really intimidated by the situation, but not an instant of that, at least visibly. brava to her, respect!

This is great! Myskina has a great sense of humor!!! LOL And still very competitive!!! Great match! Thank you!

Not sure if everyone noticed. Nastya said in Russian "Grisha, if you train properly, you would be world class player." So Grisha, давай. One idea that came to mind is to try to collaborate with Kasatkina. I am sure she would like to play you for her youtube channel. Could be really fun to watch.

To see a W on this channel for a change is nice. Good job Grisha! 😉

Being out of the game so long I'm impressed with how well she played, she seems so nice too!

Really impressive how Nastia still can compete well after all those years! Thank you for sharing this!

Back in the day (1980), I was playing varsity High school tennis. I was a bit of a freak in that I hardly practiced but had a natural ability to serve and my serves reached nearly 120mph. Unfortunately, the rest of my game wasn’t at that level and my natural laziness prevented me from reaching my potential. Something I regret. Anyway, I was at a group lesson at Tam Tennis Club in north IL burbs and a younger girl was training with her coach on a nearby court. I noticed her coach exchange some words with the pro who was coaching our group. That pro, Bob Marimba(sp?), signaled for me to come over. When I did he told the younger girl , “ if you return this kids serve, then you can return just about any serve you’ll face in competition.” Needless to say she quickly started returning everything I had. It was like hitting against a wall. I don’t think I won a volley. That younger girl was Andrea Yeager. That’s My brush with greatness!

Nicely done Grish and Nastia. I love how light and playful this was.

Awesome! Thanks! always great to see and hear from former Pro players! great to learn about their tennis history! ❤👊💪💯👏✅🙏 appreciate

she would whoop my behind... and at 42, holy cow shes still got it. Also, playing against a slam winner is super special. Thanks for your content as always grisha!

Love the content and how you learn and how you have a growth mindset

That was a super fun video. Always was a fan of hers back during her titles runs, and for us Americans we typically only got to see her during the grand slam tournaments.

More Myskina!

Great video! Always loved to watch her play! Awesome personality!

Thank you for the amazing video Grisha !!! You always find a way to entertain us!! 👍 One question, what will be the next tournament you will play in ?

great vid! awesome points and funny dialogue. subbed

Wonderful video! Subscribed.

of all matches Nastia played, i will always remember the one vs Zvonareva where it ended w a 3rd set 17-15 tb in San Diego!

Yes man love the uploads 💪💪

Her trash talking is top-tier. She'd fit right in with our group! What a fun match, thanks!

Though you make a big deal about her former abilities and success on tour, you also downplay your own ability before the play to make it seem like a victory by you would be a "major upset." In reality, your tennis is advanced enough and polished enough to not only stay with her, but to take it to her, using superior power and consistency. That was no upset. She was overpowered. What would've been more competitive, would've been a handicap set, where she has the alleys, and you get only one serve.

Happy to see she's still in great shape.

excellent video thanks for sharing Myskina so nice, I took a photo with her in Rio Olympics

She is in great shape! And still looking so good

Such good vibes! Congrats. A very funny video

Well done great content 💪🥇😀

Cannot get enough of this channel 🎾

She was so calm. Great content as always! The only issue was the camera person over the last couple of minutes of the game, was moving the camera too fast. Instead, it would be much better if he/she took a wide shot.

Very exciting vlog today. Hope the camera can be more stable next time. I find it dizzying from time to time. But great job by the team!

Love the collab! Shes definitely still great! Nice serve btw

A pleasure to see her!!! More content with former top Russian players would be amazing! (SAFIN...)

Such a good video. Grisha...man...incredible ma man. She's awesome. So funny. Great chemistry between you two. She did pretty awesome actually; I think. Thanks for sharing this. Really enjoyed it. Would love to visit Moscow one day, and her academy. Cheers! M

You know grisha’s serves are very very good when the former world number two is struggling to return it and also great video! We would love to see more!

Myskina was a great tennis player. She was playing during the time when women tennis was at its greatest. She was a joy to watch.

Unbelievable facility. Fantastic

😅 Love her sens of humor, her family and friends surely have great times with her 😎

What a pleasure to see Anastasia! Good memories. That said, women's and men's tennis are two different sports.

I love Nastya. The way she hit the ball in the early 2000s was absolutely majestic.

Fantastic really enjoyed it now let’s see you hit with Davydenko

great stuff man!

When she won Roland Garros I was hypnotized by her beauty... Then I realized how smart she played. I missed her since she retided.

Чувство юмора Анастасии просто на высшем уровне)

Lovely experience! What is your string setup, Grisha?

You tore your bicep? Is this before or after your UTR matches? I was looking forward to your renewed training commitment but a torn bicep is pretty serious.

Коллаба огонь, Настя one love ❤ Корты знакомые, играли там не раз 😊

Извинити..ти-ти!! Ой!..Ай!!.Айайай!! Ооохх!!Аахххх!!!... ЭТО ЛУЧШИЙ ТЕННИСНЫЙ РОЛИК НА ЮТУБЕ ЗА ВСЕ ВРЕМЯ!!🤣🥎🤣

You are a gentleman.👍 Very entertaining video. It is also nice to see what a top academy in Russia looks like.

Very nice courts. Very good content!

Question, where do you design your shirts?

Really look forward to your review of prestige pro, and have it compare with your fav gravity pro

Congrats dude 🎉 I really enjoyed this. Your serve is excellent and you appear to have a balanced game. Waiting to 1/2 way through the second super breaker to produce something vaguely resembling a drop shot wasn't particularly imaginative, even though it's a slow indoor court. Her anticipation, after years of early practice, has allowed her to pretty much "predict your shot before you hit it." Amazing anticipation! Awesome rhythm and fluency too in her game. Just fitness is her problem now. Where are the courts located?

Still haven't forgiven Anastasia for defeating Venus at RG.

Very entertaining. Good personalities

She has such a cute personality but damn you can tell she hates to lose

Hopefully you got Sharapova ,Marat Safin ,or Dementiva. Those are all my favs. Myskina too. Love her unique pants when she was on tour

Those courts, absolutely stunning!

You're so good. You were just mucking around with her.

I love myskinas beautiful stroke❤

when she said to train properly, did she expand on that at all afterwards?...Playing a world # 2 is pretty awesome and any stage...thanks

A legend! She still looks great out there

Content de revoir Myskina

Nice vid. What kind of Head duffel bag is that?

Her backhand is still very good and it was lethal back in the day!

What a beautiful location!

Main question: how do people react to you travelling to that sanctioned country? No direct flights etc.

Always had a crush on Myskina! in a nice way. One of the better looking WTA players! Also - i enjoyed watching my crush be ACTUALLY GOOD PLAYER

She was one my favourite Tennis player too, On my computer screen saver, I don’t know how pictures of her I have, she is the definition of finest

Great video.

Love your channel, my friend. BTW, your logo looks pretty masonic. Do you also practice the craft?

where is the location??

That was great. I swear, russian people...! In the end, you guys are the ones who get the most wta top 50 players in the world, and it's been like that for decades. Nastia is some personality, wish she was my coach. Keep it up guys

Хорошее видео Гриша, попробуй Кузнецову уговорить сыграть. Ну или еще кого... Может Сафина?

What happened to the Lacoste shoes?

Beautiful tennis facility.

You stepped on the line on the service at 7:7 😀

So many Mykina questions! Did she officially quit in 2007? Why did she not have plans to go back to tour after Injury?

Whats your string setup??? seem to be pretty tight from sound through microphone.

Damn. U got to play a former Grand Slam champion, former world no 2 & the first female Russian grand slam champion ever. I am so jealous. I remember watching her back then she was really good. However she was just unlucky to be born during that era. Her era was the most competitive era in women's tennis ever. Names like The Williams Sisters, Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters all peaked during her time. It was just a lot harder to win grand slams during that era compared to the last 10 years. Had she been born 10 years younger she would have win more slams in the 2010s.

lol she is like the coolest person. Super humour and nice hitting

Those Russian ladies made the 2000s so special. Would love to see you hit with Dementieva, Kuznetsova, Petrova, Safina, or Zvonereva! Kasatkina from current players too.

that was great! l loved watching anastasia... she is hilarious :P

That was fun 🙂

everybody speaks about Nastya’s tennis and how good it still is…let me say rather this: boy is she still so good looking, was beautiful when she was young and is still beautiful today

Nastya has super good attitude

Please where is that extraordinary tennis club ? thanks

Myskina and Dementieva were my favorites players to watch back in the day...

Enjoyed the thrash talkin immensely

11:58 I thought "Ay yi yi yi!" was an American expression, now I'm wondering what language it originates fun! Anyway this was fun to see Myskina. She was an interesting player when she was on tour, had a very different style to the other top players. And she did retire very abruptly, this is the first I've seen of her in a long time.

I had no idea of her personality while she was a player. Charming lady.
