Mirra Andreeva reached her second French Open semi-final with a routine 6-0 6-3 victory over Sorana Cirstea on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

The first of two women's singles quarter-finals to be played on Tuesday featured a pair of players separated by an age gap of 17 years and 22 days.

That was the largest gap in a women's singles quarter-final at any grand slam since Martina Navratilova faced Jennifer Capriati (19 years and 162 days) at Wimbledon in 1991.

And it was the youth of Andreeva that prevailed, with the 19-year-old getting the job done in just 56 minutes following a first-set bagel.

Cirstea improved in the second set, taking Andreeva to deuce in the Russian's first service game and breaking in game six. 

However, that break came between two that went against Cirstea, and Andreeva sealed the deal with a third break, whipping a lovely forehand winner down the sideline on her first match point.

Data Debrief: Teenage star Andreeva surpasses Gauff 

Andreeva's first career grand slam semi-final appearance came at Roland-Garros in 2024, when she fell short in a straight-sets defeat to Jasmine Paolini. 

She will now get a second shot at a Paris final when she faces either Elina Svitolina or Marta Kostyuk in the semis, having surpassed Coco Gauff as the player with the most women's singles main-draw wins at Roland-Garros as a teenager (now 16).

Andreeva is also the sixth-youngest woman in the Open Era to reach her second career grand slam semi-final at Roland-Garros. 

The only players to do so at a younger age than the 19-year-old were Monica Seles in 1990, Andrea Jaeger in 1982, Gabriela Sabatini in 1987, Martina Hingis in 1998 and Steffi Graf in 1988.
