Andreeva is involved in the qualifiers for Roland Garros this year. Should she qualify for the main draw, this would be her first main draw Grand Slam appearance. This would follow a run to the finals in the Australian Open girl’s singles back in January. As for her ranking, since she only turned professional last year, there isn’t a load of history here.

Next match: French Open Third Round vs Coco Gauff
After reaching the main draw through qualifiers, Mirra Andreeva was scheduled to meet with Alison Riske-Amritraj in the First Round of Roland Garros.
Despite the fact that Riske-Amritraj is 85th in the WTA rankings, ahead of Andreeva, and a much more experienced player, it was the youngster that dominated the match and won 2-0 (6-1, 6-2).
The same was the case in the next match for Andreeva that she played against another teenager, the young French star in the making, Diane Parry. Andreeva once again dominated the match from start to finish, beating Parry 2-0 (6-1, 6-2).
In the next round, the 16-year-old will meet with Cori “Coco” Gauff, the world no.6 at the moment and the finalist from last year’s French Open. So, this will clearly be the toughest test yet for Andreeva, but the teenager seems ready to surprise us once again.
