Erika Andreeva defeated her higher-ranked younger sister Mirra in the first professional meeting between the two talented siblings to reach the last 16 at the Wuhan Open.Erika, 20, claimed a 6-3 6-1 win over 17-year-old Mirra and will now play Italian world number six Jasmine Paolini for a quarter-final place.
French Open semi-finalist Mirra became the youngest player to be ranked in the top 20 since 2006 last week, courtesy of her run to the quarter-finals at the China Open in Beijing. Erika is yet to progress beyond the second round in five Grand Slam appearances but, a lucky loser entry in the main draw in Wuhan, she rose to the occasion against her younger sibling.
But Erika responded emphatically by clinching three successive breaks amid a five-game streak to take the opening set.
