I've been following Ksenia for a while, what an amazing talent! I hope she makes it to the WTA tour and have an amazing tennis career :)

@20:55 All remaining hope for this mother is lost! What a vain, selfish, uncaring, parent. She obviously cares more about winning and living vicariously through her kids than she does the emotional welfare of her daughter. You can be FIRM and DEMAND EXCELLENCE IN EFFORT without being a monster.

This video is captivating, inspiring and disturbing all at the same time. There are many interesting themes in the video. The mother fanatical almost maniacal method. The girls incredible workmanship and drive at such a young age. I kept asking, “will the girls body break before she does?” Competitive sports is definitely NOT for everyone. This video is the closest thing I’ve seen to a representation of what it takes to excel not only in competitive tennis but sports and life as well. Well done. I’ll look forward to seeing Ksenia at the Junior US Open in a few years. She will definitely be there at that amazing pace.

you can't win every match. I feel sorry for this little girl. She has huge talent and she will be burned out by the time she is 16. The mother is living vicariously through her daughter.

This woman is obsessed!

My parent was also like this when it came to tennis, I peaked at 12 then started throwing matches just to end it. Suffocating having a parent that lives through you. Wait till she finds out about social media and brand deals - will get a Bouchard 2.0

She is 11 years old. There's no way anyone can know if this girl will make it as a professional at this point in time. There are far too many variables that may or may not fall into place. All I do know is as she continues to progress, the level of pressure will only increase.

Is it safe to practice this much at such a young age , and only to get burnt out early , but definitely a joy to watch all the best

I didn't hear school in her daily schedule. What if she gets injured? Looses passion? Risky

Can you really say an 11 y/o is one of the greatest talents ? I mean many amazing players including junior slam champions fail at the pro circuit. My best wishes for this girl, I’m just saying it’s to early to call her "one of the greatest talents in tennis history "

Good luck to her! She is so fun to watch!

Julia is an amazing mother.

the mom has a spectacular mentality. It's so sad the father situation. They'll regret not being with him

"everything has to be perfect". No, it doesn't. I wish her well but the mother is clueless. Losing is part of the sport. You learn from it. You dont punish and yell at a 11 year old. Pathetic.

I know a bunch of kids top 5 in the country at a young age but then they either quit tennis or don’t improve because of burnout I hope that doesn’t happen to her but it looks like it might with the moms intensity

Such a realistic video, I love it. Goes to show you just how hard it is.

Can't wait to see you grow in tennis 🎾

I see a lot of arguing and a lot of different opinions in the comments. The type of influence Julia has on her daughter, can be good or bad depending on ksenias mindset. Some people need this type of endurance to become successful. Go big or go home. For ksenias sake I hope she has passion for the sport and this is what she really wants to do, and is NOT just doing it for her mother. Having a good education and social network is important. You are very talented and I hope you find success while still doing what you love.

Amazing!

Poor little girl. 💔 Her mother is the epitome of a tiger parent, she wants it more than Ksenia does, very scary to watch. And I’m missing SCHOOLING in her day, she isn’t getting an education at all?!

All I can say,....childhood trauma, Dr. Gabor Mate. I think her mom wants it more then her!

I wish Ksenia the best of success in her life, whatever she chooses to do. But in my opinion, putting so high expectations and pressure to perform on such a younger player might (and frequently does) backfire. While the vast majority of top players were prodigies as kids and trained very hard, that does not work the other way around. Most "prodigies" get lost along the way. There are plenty of videos showing "future top pro players" over 8~10 years ago, of kids that never succeeded. Only time will tell. The scene at 20:54 is not "powerful", it is simply terrible.

Its like raising racing horses. God damn give them a childhood!!!

She is so lucky. If i had a chance like her, I would be professional and win tournaments too.

Good Luck ksenia 💪🙏

Julia is copying everything Anna Kournikova has said, word for word. When she talks about tennis being an art and the tennis court is a stage. Julia is desperate to turn Ksenia into the next Kournikova. Sad. Mother living through daughter NEVER woks well. Time will tell.

Fast fwd to 20.50 onwards ... then hug ya child and pray she/he has a normal childhood.

This feels so weird

She's crazy that girl🎾👌

I used to think Murataglou would be a good coach for kids--not so much anymore. Seems he is okay with burning out and over-pressurizing kids, so long as he gets only one who goes pro and who he can use to advertise his academy. The odds are with him, not with these kids.

Jennifer Capriati anyone? She was a sure thing remember? Let the girl have fun, develop, and grow without the cameras.

Good luck for you Ksenia and for your team!

Interesting that the video I saw of her previously she was using a Wilson Clash. Not sure if that was before or after the video footage here where she's using a Yonex Ezone.

To think Moratoglou agreed it was OK to operate in this manner makes me very concerned about his approach to developing talent. I once read nobody knows how to create a champion. They are born. This is a fact. If you are not born to win Wimbledon you never will. Training 10 hours a day won't make it happen. Kindness is required to help those who are born to win Wimbledon to do it. If kindness is absent even those born to do it will fail. There was an absence of kindness in that discussion after losing the match. I would advise strongly to change the approach. Even then if the genes are not there to win slams it won't happen regardless of what training is done. Best of luck to her but remember also you can have a great career without a racket in your hand kid. Just remember success in life does not require a tennis racket. It just requires that you do what you love and love what you do. Tennis can be a hobby while you do something completely different for your career. Accountancy, Law, IT. Take your pick.

It's amazing that people are actually losing to her. She's like 50 lbs, no power, and she's like 4 ft. tall. The 21 year old girl gave her a steady diet of high balls and beat her. This girl is good for her age, but she won't be great until she grows more.

How sad to see that woman in the video projects herself in her daughter! This can cause serious psychological effects in the child! The young girl might win finals but is she happy?

Russia is a great country with excellent athletes.

Mum needs to ensure the car seatbelts are on!

if you dont rest you cannot be good !!!! More training is not always Better, quality is better

I would say this is a fair representation of children in academies around the world that have been earmarked with future potential and are funded fully. For those looking in, it seems like child cruelty, its certainly not normal. But to be ready to enter the top arena, you need to be ready, and your never ready following a "normal" path. That's said, I have a friend who won Wimbledon and AUS open as a junior who never made it on tour, of which there are many like this. So it's all a gamble, really but if she makes it, Maratogalu will get his money back in spades and invest that in the next protégé with pushy parents. Incidently, I have seen way less pushy parent with boys than with girls.

Есть ощущение, что к 16 годам девушке уже ничего не надо будет с таким подходом.

Девочка просто быстро бегает .Подача без пронации ! Женский форхенд !Из девочки выжили максимум не вижу куда рости. Да нужно быстро бегать. Девочка бегунок и выигрывает на грунте. Но теннис меняется и будет ли она выигрывать за счет только бега ,вопрос?

Does she have friends her own age?

she is making it look easy - but the sacrifice and efforts put in by the parent should not be overlooked - mother is the real champion pedigree

When does she get schooled? Does she have friends?

Living her life through her child. Awful.

As a father of competitive junior who is 8 years old I can say her mother is just monster, as a parent I understand her and often I do the same and then I regret for so many days or even years I guess but we should not be like that. She wants her to win every match, but the reality is that the path she chose is gambling, especially tennis is gambling in terms of whether she really would become pro player or not, I've seen this girl competing in Tennis Europe and she easily lost to a european girl with 32 unforced and forced errors. Tennis is so tough sport to play.

Good luck Ksenia!!!!! I hope you make it :) :)

How can the mother say her daughter needs to get used to losing? When she lost her mother started to get mad…it’s unfair

Poor kid

Wonderful video , I am absolutely delighted for seeing such a video made , as I am a mother who is going through the same process for my daughter , every moment & expression captured are so similar as our journey in making a champion . Superb video 👍

they need sun shades

We’d love to play you. Please come to orange bowl this year and let’s see how good you are.

Damn . She's ike a young Monica

PR excellent, but there are better players . Great hype 🤦🏻‍♂️

Very inspiring, good luck

"Raising a champion.." what a joke. So unnecessary to create this much pressure onto a kid. Disgusting parenting at best.

Когда можно будет увидеть Результаты этого Таланта, показывать и рассказывать можно много. Главное Турниры выигрывать

Ксю ☆☆☆ ждём !

damn 11 yr old beating a 21 yr old!

if shes actually taking the kid away from her father who doesnt have long to live just to keep pushing in tennis then thats probably the worst of it all

si petite …quand elle aura grandit son service aura évolué et son jeu avec …it takes time 😉son tennis sera bcp plus agressif et complet …ça promet en tout cas

Julia Efremova, I am now a fan! You are amazing! Keep it up!!!!!!!

Very good video demonstrating champion mother- Champion doughtier relationship

Tennis parents, man 🙄

Take a leaf from Coco Gauff page and see how she did it!

Мама решила сделать " машинку для зарабатывания"?...Знакомо...😢

CHILD ABUSE. She will absolutely hate her mother when she’s older. 😡

Does she goes to school?

She'll burn out in four years. And all self-promotion aside Moratoglou, 11-year olds don't have "championship-level" character. She's 11 dude! She's been conditioned...almost brain-washed into believing she'll be the best in the world. She will burn out. And when she does, Moratoglou will showcase the "next tennis prodigy."

I find some of the negative comments a bit unfair ,I respect where some people are coming from but to be real I see a lot more yelling in most households to kids that aren't really working to achieve anything.Its fine to criticise and want to appear like the perfect parent but what I see is sacrifice to give a child a great future .She is already going to play on tour ,her talent is remarkable and hopefully her brother makes it too.If you ever wondered what a real strong parent is ,or what it takes to protect your child's future ,look at the way,you give them a gift ,like tennis,guide them and protect them all the way to the top ,that what it takes.Now having normal kids is also fine too,but I think most people wish great things for their kids and its not a walk in the park ,this is the reality.So respect to her parents and I wish their acheive their dreams.

Fort potentiel pour être l'une des meilleurs 👍🏻 la Maman doit utiliser la méthode Williams 🏳

School doesn’t seem to be part of this 11 year old life. Weird!

Sorry but I really dont understand why the comments are so negative and bad. I am practicing 6h a day as well. Its because we looooove the game, its our life and our passion. my dad talks to me the same way julia is talking with ksenia. whats wrong on this mindset. if she would only practice for 2h a day, you would comment its to less and like this she will never win a grand slam. so if you have little dreams that you can reach easily, is it a dream them? it makes kind of angry when i see these comments, if you are not involved in someones life from the beginning please dont comment these things. if you have a parent like this is the best thing for a sportler that can happpen. julia want it because she saw the passion in ksenias eyes, i mean everyone can see the passion in her eyes. and now 1 week ago she won her first adult tournament in poland....

Super and commited mom, kudos

If tennis doesn’t work out she can definitely be a model. She’s beautiful

Her mother is creepy lolo

If and when Coco Gauff burns out and flops as she already does, we have a new "it" girl to replace her. 😅

Ayran woman are strong...

Its very funny all the comments, people that doesnt know what is a real commitement to somenthing you love, people think that you achieve big things putting the average effort like everyone else... She is at mouratoglu, there you have to finish at least studies of highschool, thats the program at the elite sports academies, you study every day and train every day. People see this video of 20 minuts and they are even tired of how much effort you have to put to achieve something that not everyone can achieve.....

poor girl, oppressed by the parent !. what a shame both mother and mouratoglou
