Andreeva to play Roland Garros quarterfinals for third consecutive year

Mirra Andreeva continues her impressive run at Roland Garros, securing a spot in the quarterfinals for the third year in a row. The 19-year-old Russian, seeded eighth in the tournament, achieved this milestone by defeating Switzerland's Jil Teichmann with a score of 6-3, 6-2 in their fourth-round match.

Andreeva, who reached the semifinals in 2024, will now face Romania's Sorana Cirstea in the next round. Cirstea, at 36 years old, is making her first quarterfinal appearance at Roland Garros in fifteen years, having also reached this stage at the US Open in 2023. Cirstea advanced after defeating China's Xiyu Wang 6-3, 7-6 (4).

The other quarterfinal match in this section of the draw will feature two Ukrainian players: Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina. Kostyuk caused an upset by defeating the four-time champion Iga Swiatek of Poland 7-5, 6-1. Svitolina secured her place in the quarterfinals by coming back from a set down against Switzerland's Belinda Bencic, the eleventh seed, with a final score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-0. This marks Svitolina's second consecutive quarterfinal appearance in Paris and sixth of her career.
