Bianca Andreescu gets past ‘insane’ game in crazy set to defeat Emma Raducanu, advance in Miami Open

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Bianca Andreescu, the 2019 U.S. Open champion from Canada, refused to let an “insane” 25-point, 22-minute, six-break-point game define her Wednesday at the Miami Open.

So, after the 22-year-old lost that game and the next to force a deciding third set against 2021 U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu, the spirited Andreescu sucked it up, engaged in some considerable self-talk and surged forward to win her opening match 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at Hard Rock Stadium.

Raducanu, 19, said Wednesday that her wrist has been bothering her. She fought hard in the 2-hour, 33-minute match but couldn’t overcome losing 11 of 12 break points to a more proficient Andreescu.
