Andreeva sweeps past Bucsa, into French Open second round
Rising Russian teen star Mirra Andreeva booked her ticket to the second round of the French Open on Tuesday with a straight sets win over Spain's Cristina Bucsa.
Sixth seed Andreeva, who had an impressive run to the semi-finals at Roland Garros last year, advanced 6-4, 6-3 past her 98th-ranked opponent with two aces and four breaks of serve against the Spaniard.
The 18-year-old next plays either American Ashlyn Krueger or Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands for a place in the third round.
In February, Andreeva became the youngest ever player to win a WTA 1000 level crown with her triumph in Dubai.
A month later she beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final at Indian Wells to claim her second elite-level trophy.
