Ruthless Andreeva ends veteran Cirstea’s dreams in Paris thrashing

• Russian teenager triumphs 6-0, 6-3 in quarter-final

• Kostyuk sets up last-four tie after beating Svitolina

Mirra Andreeva continued her supreme clay court resurgence as she put together one of her most dominant performances of the season to dismantle the in-form Sorana Cirstea 6-0, 6-3 and return to the semi-finals of the French Open.

Andreeva’s second appearance in the last four at Roland Garros will also mark the second time in her career that she has reached a grand slam semi-final. The eighth seed now boasts a supreme 19-3 record in Paris and she awaits the winner of the all-Ukraine derby between Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk.
