PARIS — After acing her studies enough to earn a Ph.D., Mihaela Buzarnescu is back to acing opponents — all the way into the fourth round of the French Open. Later, two operations on her left knee interrupted a professional career, so she went to school in Bucharest for a degree in sports science. Playing an aggressive style that produced a 31-11 edge in winners, Buzarnescu stunningly won 6-3, 7-5 against Elina Svitolina, who not only was seeded No. After winning more than 75 matches in that span, most in low-tier tournaments, she has climbed up to 33rd and is seeded 31st in Paris. Until this week, she never had won so much as one Grand Slam main-draw match, going 0-2, with both losses against Wozniacki.
