PARIS (Reuters) -Title contender Mirra Andreeva eased into the French Open second round with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Spain's Cristina Bucsa on Tuesday to continue her fine form this season.

Andreeva, a surprise semi-finalist in Paris at the age of 17 last year, needed time to get going after quickly finding herself two breaks down and 3-0 behind in the first set.
