'Hell of a match': Andreeva ousts Kasatkina to reach French Open quarters
Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva dug deep to reach the French Open quarter-finals for a second consecutive year on Monday with a straight-sets victory over Daria Kasatkina.
The 18-year-old, seeded sixth at Roland Garros, sealed a 6-3, 7-5 win in one hour 34 minutes against Russian-born Australian Kasatkina, ranked 17.
She next plays either third-ranked American Jessica Pegula or France's last remaining player in Paris, Lois Boisson, for a place in the semi-finals.
"It was a hell of a match," said Andreeva, who suffered a tearful loss to Kasatkina in the Ningbo final last year in China.
"Honestly I'm so so happy I won, I hate playing against her, we practise a lot and even practice is a torture for me."
Andreeva came from 5-3 down in the second set and saved one set point on her way to her second Grand Slam quarter-final.
She converted four of seven break points and becomes the youngest player to reach back-to-back Roland Garros quarter-finals since Martina Hingis in 1997-98.
Andreeva reached the semi-final last year with a shock quarter-final win over Aryna Sabalenka.
She is hoping for another strong performance at Roland Garros, with both Sabalenka and reigning champion Iga Swiatek in the other half of the draw.
