Teenage se🐷nsation Andreeva beat Magdalena Frech 6-2 1-6 6-2 to boꦍok her place in the last 16 of the Australian Open on Friday.

Next ཧup for the 17-year-old, though, two-time reigning champion and world number one Sabale൲nka.

Andreeva and Sabalenka h🌌ave already played each other fou♚r times, with the latter holding a 3-1 winning record.

However, Andreeva's victory came iꦏn the qu༺arter-finals of last year's French Open.

"Honeไstly, I'm so tired to play against her," 🍸Andreeva said.

"It's, like, I don't know. I think she's the one player that I've played four or fiv𝔍e times already. So, yeah, it's a lot.

"So what can I say? Here we are again. I know that probably it's going to be an entertaining match, and of course, I'm going to do everything possible. I'm going to give my be﷽st.

"I think it's going to be interesting🎐 to watch. So, we will see what's going to happen.&quot𝓡;

The pair last met earlier this month, when Sabalenka won in straight sets to book her place in the final of the B✨risbane International, which she went on to win.

"I'll try to treat it like it's another match, and I'm just 🔜going on court and trying to win and do my best," A♒ndreeva added.

&quo💧t;But sometimes there are thoughts. She's [world] number one, maybe it's okay if, you know, this doesn't work. I don't know.

"Or maybe I play badly, ꧋but she's number onཧe, it's okay. When we played in Brisbane, I had those thoughts, but I have talked a lot about this.

"Now I know what to do, and I figured it out. So I think that this time is it'🔯s going to be a bit bet𓃲ter."

Andreeva is just the third woman to reach consecutive fourth rounds at the Australian Open before turning 18 in the last 30 years, after💜 Martina Hingis (1996-98) and Nicole Vaidisova (2006-07).
