Sabalenka, Rybakina upset in quarterfinals

PARIS With the nonchalance of a 17-year-old having the time of her life, Mirra Andreeva says she and her coach work out a game plan and then she forgets all about that, preferring to just wing it.

Seems to be working out fine so far at the French Open. The unseeded Russian is the youngest Grand Slam semifinalist in more than a quarter-century.

Playing in only her sixth major tournament, Andreeva got past an ill No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 on Wednesday. On Thursday, Andreeva goes up against another surprising player: No. 12 Jasmine Paolini, the 28-yearold Italian who reached her first major semifinal by upsetting No. 4 Elena Rybakina 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
