Mirra Andreeva, a 17-year-old tennis sensation, has made significant strides at Roland Garros. She first defeated Victoria Azarenka in a thrilling late-night match with scores of 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Andreeva then advanced to the Round of 16 by cruising past Payton Stearns with a decisive 6-2, 6-1 victory. This marks the third time Andreeva has reached the Round of 16 in a Grand Slam. She is set to face Moscow-born Varvara Gracheva, who is playing as a French player for the first time and reached the last 16 after overcoming Irina Begu 7-5, 6-3 on a very loud Lenglen. The 23-year-old Gracheva awaits her match against Andreeva.
