"It was a great and difficult tournament, 6 singles matches in 7 days. Anna had a good training weeks before the Les Petits As. The first week - at Alexander Ostrovsky Academy in Khimki, the second - the U16 tournament in Kazan (where she also won), the third week - at Alexander Ostrovsky Academy in Dorsten. The fourth week - performance at the super junior tournament in Tarbes.

In general, Anna was confident in her abilities and that she would be able to outplay each of her next rivals. Since the confidence that comes from winning in each match it had a cumulative effect, so by the end of the tournament Pushkareva was in optimal playing shape.".
