Coco Gauff defeats Mirra Andreeva in the battle of the teenagers at French Open and reaches fourth round
But time marches on and it was Gauff who was the experienced player on court on Saturday as she defeated 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva in a hard-fought battle between two of tennis’ most talented teenagers. The American lost the first set in a tiebreak but rallied to dismantle Andreeva in the next two sets and take a 6-7 6-1 6-1 win to advance to the fourth round of the French Open. “We practiced together this week, actually,” Gauff, still just 19, said afterwards, according to the Guardian.
” Andreeva celebrated her 16th birthday in April and became the youngest player to reach the third round at Roland Garros since 2005, according to the WTA. And for the first 65 minutes of the match, it seemed as if Andreeva might continue her meteoric rise with a shock victory as she pummeled Gauff’s weaker forehand side with first serves and won the set’s tiebreak. Despite her age, Gauff has already played in numerous French Open tournaments and reached the final last year.
