Andreeva sweeps past Bucsa, into French Open second round

SPORTS 27.05.2025

Rising Russian teen star Mirra Andreeva booked her ticket to the second round of the French Open on Tuesday with a straight sets win over Spain's Cristina Bucsa.

Text size:

Sixth seed Andreeva, who had an impressive run to the semi-finals at Roland Garros last year, advanced 6-4, 6-3 past her 98th-ranked opponent with two aces and four breaks of serve against the Spaniard.

The 18-year-old next plays either American Ashlyn Krueger or Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands for a place in the third round.

In February, Andreeva became the youngest ever player to win a WTA 1000 level crown with her triumph in Dubai.

A month later she beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final at Indian Wells to claim her second elite-level trophy.
