Russian teen Andreeva eases into French Open third round

SPORTS 29.05.2025

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva cruised into the French Open last 32 on Thursday with a straight-sets victory over American Ashlyn Krueger.

Text size:

The 18-year-old, seeded sixth at Roland Garros, wrapped up a 6-3, 6-4 win on Court Simonne Mathieu in just 73 minutes.

Andreeva, who reached the semi-finals last year, will face either Taiwan's Joanna Garland or Kazakh 32nd seed Yulia Putintseva in the third round.

"I struggled a bit with my serve but I'm happy with how I kept my calm and found a way in the end," said Andreeva, who is hoping to become the youngest woman to win a Grand Slam title since her compatriot Maria Sharapova's famous 2004 Wimbledon triumph.

She was broken in the first game of the match by world number 35 Krueger, but reeled off five successive games to take the first set.

The pair traded four breaks at the start of the second set, but Andreeva broke to love in the ninth game and served it out with aplomb.
