TORONTO: Bianca Andreescu beat American Sofia Kenin 6-4 7-6 at the Rogers Cup on Saturday to become the first Canadian woman to reach the championship match of the tournament since 1969.
"I've been through so much the past two months, and all I can say is I'm so happy to be back on court," an emotional Andreescu said on-court. A relieved Andreescu, in her first tournament since she withdrew from the French Open ahead of the second round, dropped to her knees and kissed the blue hardcourt while the home crowd screamed her name.Andreescu had to fight plenty of nerves as she struggled to put away Kenin, who won three consecutive games in the second set to level at 5-5.
Kenin returned to the court and won a lengthy seven-deuce game to set up the tiebreak during which there was little to separate the players until Andreescu ripped the backhand winner to end the match.
