Andreescu heads to final with straight-set semifinal victory at Libema Open

Bianca Andreescu is off to the Libema Open final after a 6-4, 6-2 win over Hungary’s Dalma Galfi on Saturday.

The Mississauga, Ont., native won 63.6 per cent of her first-serve points and broke on four of her five opportunities.

She will next face the winner between two-time defending champion Ekaterina Alexandrova and No. 2 seed Liudmila Samsonova from the other semifinal.

Andreescu defeated four-time Grand Slam title winner Naomi Osaka 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (3) in Friday’s quarterfinal to advance to the semifinal.

The 23-year-old Andreescu is competing in just her second tournament since being sidelined for nine months with a back injury.

Sunday’s final serves as a chance at winning her first title since 2019 when she won her lone Grand Slam at the U.S. Open.
