Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva reached the semi-finals of Roland Garros. This was reported by a Lenta.ru correspondent.
In the quarterfinal match, Andreeva beat the second racket of the world, Arina Sabalenka. The meeting ended in three sets with a score of 6:7 (5:7), 6:4, 6:4. The tennis players spent 2 hours and 30 minutes on the court.
The 17-year-old Russian interrupted the winning streak of the Belarusian, who had previously not lost a single set out of 23 at Grand Slam tournaments. In the next match, Andreeva will play with the 15th racket of the world, Italian Jasmine Paolini.
Andreeva, who is ranked 38th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career. In addition, she remained the only representative of Russia at the French Open in both the women’s and men’s tournaments.
Previously, Andreeva was included in the long list of the ranking of the most promising Russians under 30 according to Forbes. At the end of last season, the WTA recognized her as the best newcomer of the year.
