French Open 2023: Coco Gauff plays Mirra Andreeva at Roland Garros

Hearing 19-year-old Coco Gauff talk about playing an opponent younger than her feels rather strange.

The American bursting onto the scene as a 15-year-old at Wimbledon in 2019 remains fresh in the memory and, while she is already a Grand Slam finalist and now an experienced WTA player, it is easy to forget she is still a teenager.

On Saturday, Gauff will be in the rare position of being the older player when she faces 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva in the French Open third round.

"I feel like age really doesn't play a factor when we step on the court," said sixth seed Gauff.
