Mirra Andreeva secured her place in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros after a hard-fought victory over Daria Kasatkina. The 18-year-old Russian triumphed in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, in a match that tested both her skill and mental resilience.
Despite the intensity of the competition, Andreeva acknowledged the unique challenge of playing against a close friend. She admitted that facing Kasatkina was difficult, not just because of her opponent’s tactical abilities, but also due to their strong off-court bond. “I hate playing against her,” Andreeva said with a laugh, explaining that even their practice sessions can feel like a battle.
Kasatkina, ranked 17th, pushed Andreeva to the limit, especially in the second set, where she briefly led 5-3. However, Andreeva’s determination and ability to stay composed under pressure allowed her to turn the match around and secure the win.
With this victory, Andreeva becomes the youngest player since Martina Hingis to reach back-to-back quarter-finals at Roland Garros. She now awaits her next opponent, either Jessica Pegula or Lois Boisson, as she continues her impressive run in Paris.
Her journey at this year’s tournament has captivated fans, showcasing her talent and ability to thrive in high-pressure situations. As she moves forward, her performances will be closely watched, with many eager to see how far she can go in her pursuit of a Grand Slam title.
