Teenager Mirra Andreeva stuns Aryna Sabalenka to reach French ...

Paris –

Mirra Andreeva became the youngest Grand Slam semifinalist in 27 years after upsetting Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday at the French Open, a stunner that came after fourth-seeded Elena Rybakina was knocked out by Italy's Jasmine Paolini.

The 17-year-old Andreeva fought back from a set down against Australian Open champion Sabalenka, who appeared to be hampered by illness, to win 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-4 and set up a last-four meeting against Paolini.

The Russian is the youngest woman to reach the last four at a Slam event since Martina Hingis at the 1997 U.S. Open, and the youngest at Roland Garros since Hingis during the same year.
