The match marked Andreescu’s first since a Fed Cup tie earlier in the month in the Netherlands.

Andreescu, Canada’s top-ranked women’s player, has risen up the standings at a remarkable pace early into this season.

She won the Oracle Challenger in California two weeks ago for her first career title. She was No. 152 in late December.
