Canada's contingent of tennis teenagers is continuing to make waves in the California desert. Wild card Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., continued her run at the BNP Paribas Open, rolling into the women's singles quarterfinals with a 7-5, 6-2 upset of No. 18 seed Qiang Wang of China.

Andreescu will face No. 20 seed and two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza of Spain in Wednesday's quarterfinals. The other member of Canada's teen trio at the tournament, Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime, was eliminated Monday night in a dramatic third-set tiebreak against qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan. But Auger-Aliassime also made a measurable impact, including a win over ninth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Canadian teen was frustrated enough after giving up an early lead in the first set to do some damage to one of her rackets. "I think that was a really crucial game," Andreescu said in an on-court interview after the match. "I didn't think I served well at the beginning of the game. I think I relaxed a bit too much, but then I'm like 'Screw this' I just went for it and ran like crazy."
