Mirra Andreeva has continued her superb story at WTA 1000 events, having just reached the Madrid Open quarter-finals.
Andreeva finds it difficult playing against her sister Erika Andreeva, who she beat in Stuttgart earlier this month.
The former is now focusing her efforts on success at the Madrid Open, with Coco Gauff up next for the Russian.
Andreeva overcame Marie Bouzkova in her opening match at the WTA 1000 tournament, before beating Magdalena Frech.
The seventh seed then overcame Yuliia Starodubtseva to set up her last eight meeting with fourth seed Gauff.

She has enjoyed a stunning rise in recent times, with the teenager having climbed as high as sixth in the WTA rankings.
And given her ability and with coach Conchita Martinez by her side, there is no telling just how much success the Russian can go on to enjoy.
