Andreeva sweeps past Bucsa, into French Open second round

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.
