World number two Coco Gauff continued her pursuit of a first French Open singles title with another impressive straight-set victory to reach the quarter-finals.
The American, 21, dismantled Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0 7-5 in Paris.
The opening set lasted just 29 minutes, with Gauff dropping just five points across the first five games.
It is the fifth consecutive year that 2022 runner-up Gauff has reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros.
She will face the winner of the all-American fourth-round meeting between Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Hailey Baptiste.
Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva also progressed to the last eight in straight sets.
The sixth seed defeated Australian 17th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-5 and will play either American third seed Jessica Pegula or French wildcard Lois Boisson next.
