PARIS, June 2 (Reuters) - Romanian ⁠veteran Sorana Cirstea saluted Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva's personality and power, calling her a "blessing" for ⁠the sport after going down in a lopsided French Open quarter-final on Tuesday.

Weeks after ‌a three-set battle between the duo in the Linz quarter-finals, 19-year-old Andreeva scored her second win over her frequent practice partner by sealing a 6-0 6-3 victory at Roland Garros.
