After knocking off two of the top four women’s tennis players in the world, Mirra Andreeva and Jasmine Paolini will now focus on each other when they meet on Thursday at Roland Garros in Paris at the 2024 French Open. Andreeva defeated second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, while Paolini stopped fourth-ranked Elena Rybakina 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 on Wednesday. The pair will be meeting for just the second time in their careers. Andreeva defeated Paolini 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the fourth round at the Mutua Madrid Open in Madrid, Spain, in April.
