Canada earned two singles wins Thursday to lock up a victory over Italy at the Billie Jean King Cup.
Andreescu, from Mississauga, Ont., was tested in her opening set. The 2019 US Open champion rallied from 2-5 down and went on to complete the win in one hour 51 minutes.
“The support from everyone that are in the stands, my cheerleaders from Canada, I’m glad that they came down,” Andreescu said. “Without their support, I don’t know if I could have pulled the win today, so I’m very grateful.”She needed just 44 minutes to complete the rare double bagel. It was her first shutout in an official match since a junior win over Elsa Jacquemot at Roland Garros in 2019.
“Bianca played a great match and I think I was just so happy I was able to follow it up with a great performance,” Fernandez said.Article content
