Seventeen-year-old Mirra Andreeva admitted she forgot the pre-match tactics as she came from a set down on Wednesday evening to beat the second seed Aryna Sabalenka to advance to the semi-finals at the French Open.

The Russian won 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 on Court Philippe Chatrier to become the youngest woman to reach the last four at a Grand Slam tournament since a 16-year-old Martina Hingis achieved the feat on her way to the Australian Open crown in 1997.
