The sixth-seeded Russian has not lost a single set during the tournament in Paris.

This thanks to her lucky charm in the form of a drawing, according to herself.

A little girl left it on my bench, and it's why I won today. It's my good luck charm. I'll have it with me, it gives me luck. Thanks to her wherever she is, says Andrejeva.

Tonight, the Champions League in football for men is decided. The Paris team Paris Saint-Germain plays against Inter Milan.

I don't follow football, but I might watch tonight, and hope Paris loses. Just kidding! You can't say that in Paris. I might cheer for them if it's a good team, says Andrejeva about the final.

Last year, Andrejeva caused a major upset in the French Championships by knocking out the then-world number two Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, and reached the semifinals as a 17-year-old.

In the fourth round, Andrejeva is joined by Jessica Pegula. The American world number three won her match against the Czech Marketa Vondrousova with 2–1 in sets (3–6, 6–4, 6–2).

The second-seeded Coco Gauff, USA, also advanced fairly comfortably. The final scores against the Czech Marie Bouzková read 6–1, 7–6.
