By IANS News June 06, 2024 • 01:24 AM View: 945

Teenager Mirra Andreeva: Teenager Mirra Andreeva made history at the French Open on Wednesday, upsetting Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka to become, at 17-year-old, the youngest Grand Slam semifinalist in nearly three decades.

Andreeva returned strongly after losing the first set to defeat Sabalenka 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-4 defeat in the women's singles quarterfinals to clash with another first-time semifinalist Jasmine Paolini of Italy.

Andreeva battled past an ailing Sabalenka, who received a first-set medical timeout and subsequent other attention later in the match that lasted 2 hours and 29 minutes at Court Philippe-Chatrier.
