ROUNDUP
Andreescu Sets Up Blockbuster Showdown with Pliskova in Quarterfinals
Nothing at Rogers Cup presented by National Bank could rain on Bianca Andreescu’s parade. Not even the rain.
Following a weather delay, the 19 year old from Mississauga came out and defeated World No. 5 Kiki Bertens for the first time in her professional career, winning a tough three-setter 6-1, 6-7 (6), 6-4. Bertens managed to save three match points, before finally Andreescu converted on her fourth match point to close it out nearly three and half hours after it started. The Canadian sets up a showdown with the No. 3 seed Karolina Pliskova in the quarter-finals in what promises to be an electric match between two players who have never met before.
