Ons Jabeur, the world number two, has been knocked out of the Australian Open by 16-year-old qualifier Mirra Andreeva. The Tunisian lost 6-2 6-3 in the second round, and the Russian qualifier advanced to the third round.
Andreeva's win is the biggest of her career
Andreeva, who is ranked 150th in the world, caused a huge upset on Wednesday in front of a stunned crowd in Melbourne.
She is the youngest player to beat a top-two player since Maria Sharapova beat Serena Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final
Andreeva's breathtaking performance, filled with powerful groundstrokes and clever shot-making, forced a series of errors from Jabeur.
On the other side of the net, Andreeva played like a seasoned professional. She hit hard and deep, and she was always in control of the rallies.
She is also the first player from Russia to reach the third round of a Grand Slam since 2011
Andreeva's win sends Jabeur crashing out in the early stages of the tournament, while Andreeva's journey continues.
The Russian teenager is trying to make a name for herself on the tennis scene, and she has already shown that she has the talent and the determination to go all the way.
