TORONTO — Bianca Andreescu walked gingerly to the sideline, a slight limp as she favoured her right thigh.
A few moments earlier, the 19-year-old Canadian was forced to leave the court due to a groin injury suffered while squatting to return a low shot. It probably didn’t help that she leads all players in time on court at the Rogers Cup by a three-hour margin. In that solitary moment before the start of the third set, Andreescu dug deep and was able to access the same toughness which propelled her this far — not just at this tournament but throughout the past year as she opened eyes as the WTA’s top teen. With momentum favouring Pliskova, a former US Open finalist, Andreescu once again fought from behind to win, 6-0, 2-6, 6-4 on Friday and book her spot in the semifinals on Saturday.
The Thornhill, Ont., native couldn’t have asked for a better start. She appeared cool and confident from the outset, a smile on her face and twirling her racquet like a gunslinger during warmups as she set to face her highest-rank opponent at the Rogers Cup yet.
DaveZarum The 'sky' will be SofiaKenin next round. She has a much better attitude.
