Eighth seed Mirra Andreeva cruised past Czech Marie Bouzkova in straight sets on Friday to book her spot in the French Open fourth round.

Andreeva, a semifinalist in Paris two years ago, won 6-4, 6-2 and will next face either Jil Teichmann of Switzerland or 10th-seeded Czech Karolina Muchova in the round of 16.

Andreeva, 19, had a rocky start and hit the racket on her thigh in frustration as Bouzkova earned a break point at 3-2, but she managed to hold despite losing her temper again and swiping the clay with her racket a little later.

The Russian, known for her volatile on-court temper at times, managed to keep her composure and take the edge in the match when she broke Bouzkova to go 5-4 up before wrapping up the first set after 49 minutes.

She earned two more breaks in the second set to go 5-2 up and served out the match in the next game.

Andreeva has now beaten Bouzkova three times this season, after wins in Adelaide and Miami, for a perfect 5-0 record against the Czech. She has also recorded 32 wins so far this year, the most on the Tour this season.
