Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva returned to the French Open semi-finals with a 6-0 6-3 win over Romanian veteran Sorana Cirstea on a rainy Tuesday to continue her run in a Roland Garros draw stripped of many big names. Now among the leading contenders for a maiden Grand Slam title with defending champion Coco Gauff and four-times winner Iga Swiatek out, the Russian next takes on Marta Kostyuk after she won the all-Ukrainian clash with Elina Svitolina.
"Obviously, there are no easy opponents, especially when you're going to be playing the semi-finals of a Grand Slam," Andreeva said, shortly before that match was completed.
