Last year's runner-up Coco Gauff overcame a shaky start to end fellow teenager Mirra Andreeva's French Open run with a 6-7(5) 6-1 6-1 victory on Saturday to reach the fourth round.
On a sunny afternoon, Gauff struggled to handle Russian Andreeva's firepower before finding her stride to set up a meeting with Anna Karolina Schmiedlova of Slovakia or American qualifier Kayla Day with a potential quarter-final clash against holder Iga Swiatek looming.
"In the first set, I had chances, we traded breaks and overall I knew the game plan so I tried to execute it in the second and third sets. We practised together earlier so I'm sure she picked up things from my game and I picked things from hers." In a first set where both players struggled to hold serve, Gauff went up 5-4 and 30-0 but got broken again before a poor shot at the net in the tiebreak gifted Andreeva the chance to take the advantage in the match.
