Mirra Andreeva has continued her wonderful run at the French Open reaching the third round at the age of 16 after seeing off Diane Parry 6-1, 6-2.

It is a debut Grand Slam for the Russian who previously impressed at the Madrid Open and has endeared herself with her style of play as well as superb interviews.

She becomes the seventh player under the age of 17 to reach the third round at the French Open with some big names alongside her such as Serena Williams, Martina Hingis and Iva Majoli who became eventual finalists at the event.

A good sign for Andreeva in that regard and next could be another player who priorly was highly touted as a teenager in Coco Gauff who she lauded praise on earlier this week in an interview with Tennis Channel.

Andreeva said that she had a 'beautiful face' similar to Andy Murray and that she introduced herself and trained with her as she takes her first steps into WTA Tour life and has been doing well in doing so.
