ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu rose 11 spots to a career-high No. 60 in the WTA Tour rankings on Monday after reaching the semifinals at the Mexico Open last week.

Andreescu, whose previous rankings high was No. 68, opened the year at No. 152.

Andreescu won her first career WTA 125 Series event last month in Newport Beach, Calif., and is currently 15th in the Tour’s overall points race.
