Mirra Andreeva stunned the World No 2 Aryna Sabalenka to reach the French Open semi-finals, where the 17-year-old rising star will face the Italian Jasmine Paolini after a day of upsets at Roland Garros.
Andreeva defeated an out-of-sorts Sabalenka 6-7 6-4 6-4 on Court Philippe-Chatrier to claim the win of her life, a year on from reaching the third round as a qualifier. The Russian will play another first-time grand slam semi-finalist, after Paolini upset Elena Rybakina. The 28-year-old Italian and 12th seed prevailed 6-2 4-6 6-4 against the former Wimbledon champion.
The evening’s action saw Alexander Zverev book his place in the French Open semi-finals for a fourth year in a row. The German fourth seed defeated Alex de Minaur in straight-sets to set up a meeting with two-time French Open runner-up Casper Ruud on Friday. Ruud advanced automatically after Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal from the quarter-final due to a knee injury, which will require surgery.
