Andreescu continues incredible rise by reaching maiden Grand Slam final on US Open debut

Bianca Andreescu had her toughest fight yet as she edged past Belinda Bencic 7-6, 7-5 to move through but she will now play Serena Williams on Saturday in a repeat of their match which never happened at the Rogers Cup.

The 19-year old Canadian won that tie claiming her biggest win to date but she will now have to take on a nearly full power Serena but given the form she is in; it will be a brilliant battle.

Andreescu never held a break point in the first and had to win it in a tiebreak. In this tiebreak she had to save six break points against her including one for the set and it was similar in the second.

She had to fight from a double-break down to claim the last five games and victory. As a result of this win also next up after is a rise up the rankings into the top 10 for the first time and potentially a first Grand Slam title for one of the popular picks for the title this week at Flushing Meadows.
