PARIS (Reuters) - There is barely half a page devoted to Romanian Mihaela Buzarnescu in the WTA's media guide but this week at the French Open she is writing a whole new chapter in her career.

The 30-year-old reached the last 16 on Friday with a 6-3 7-5 defeat of Ukrainian fourth seed Elina Svitolina -- the biggest win of a career spent in the tennis wilderness.
