Canada’s Bianca Andreescu registered a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win over France’s Alize Cornet in 2 hours and 26 minutes to reach the Round of 16 at the National Bank Open, here. It was Andreescu’s first win over Cornet, who had troubled her mightily in the past. After her victory on Wednesday night, Andreescu has now won eight matches in a row at the event when it is held in Toronto, which is the nearest major city to her hometown.
I think it was just the fighting spirit of both of us. She’s very consistent and I really had to push through, especially in the tough moments.
