French Open – Women’s results: Teenager Andreeva turns heads in Paris – Jabeur wins confidently

Mirra Andreeva had everything under control against Alison Riske-Amritraj, who was a semi-finalist at the Australian Open in 2019, and won 6-2, 6-1 in just 56 minutes.

The young Russian had already caused a sensation in Madrid before the French Open when she advanced to the round of 16.

“She looks like Coco Gauff two or three years ago – incredibly cool and mellow,” it turned out Eurosport-Expert Barbara Rittner impressed:

“During interviews you think she would never have done anything else. She has an incredibly great backhand, powerful shots. She has now made the breakthrough. The attitude and the overall package are right.”

Gauff wins after a false start

Against the 32-year-old Riske-Amritraj, Andreeva used five of six break chances and hit 20 winnters with only twelve unforced errors.

In the 2nd round she now meets the French wild card holder Diane Parry, who knocked out Anhelina Kalinina (Ukraine/No. 25) 6:2, 6:3. In the 3rd round there could be a duel with Gauff (USA).

The American, who reached the final in 2022, beat Rebeka Masarova (Spain) 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 after a false start.

“Last year’s final is over. I’m glad I was able to stay aggressive and turn the match around,” said the 19-year-old, who described Paris as her favorite city.

Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina got off to a good start at the French Open. The fourth-seeded Kazakh, who had underpinned her role as one of the favorites in Roland-Garros with her victory at the WTA tournament in Rome, defeated the 16-year-old qualifier Brenda Fruhvirtova (Czech Republic) 6: 4, 6: 2 at the start.

In the second round, the next Czech in Linda Noskova is waiting for Rybakina.

Ons Jabeur, seeded seventh, is also sovereign in round two. The Tunisian didn’t give Lucia Bronzetti (Italy) a chance at 6:4, 6:1.
