Having knocked out ex-world leader Victoria Azarenka (18 WTA) and emotionlessly bypassed Emma Navarro (75 WTA), the Canadian stopped in the third round.
Ukrainian Lesya Tsurenko did not give the ex-winner of the US Open 2019 a chance after two identical sets and in just one hour and three minutes.
Bianca Andreescu received a check for 142,000 euros and 130 points in the WTA singles ranking for reaching the third round of Roland Garros.
After the match with Andreescu Tsurenko, the 1/8 final brings a confrontation with world leader Iga Sviatek.
The Roland Garros tournament takes place from May 28 to June 11, has a total prize pool of 49.6 million euros, and is the 127th tournament. Iga Sviatek and Rafael Nadal (14-time winner in Paris) became the champions of the title.
