MIRRA IS STILL ON COURSE FOR TITLE

TEENAGE seventh seed Mirra Andreeva rushed into round four of Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over American world number 55 Hailey Baptiste.

With wet weather temporarily causing play to be suspended on the outer courts, the 18-year-old Russian (pictured) cruised to a 6-1 6-3 victory under the Court One roof.

Aside from world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who overcame Britain's Emma Raducanu on Friday evening, Andreeva is the highest seeded player remaining in the women's draw following a series of upsets across week one of the tournament.

She will face either reigning champion Barbora Krejcikova or 10th seed Emma Navarro in the last eight.

Baptiste, who has Frances Tiafoe’s twin brother Franklin in her coaching team, failed to hold serve in game one en route to dropping the opening set in just 31 minutes.
