Bianca Andreescu delivered Canada a home champion at the Rogers Cup in Toronto but her victory did not come in the way she may have hoped.
The 19-year-old, who became the first Canadian woman to reach the final of the tournament since 1969, took the title after Serena Williams had to retire with a back injury in the first set. Andreescu was leading 3-1 at the time.
Williams appeared to be in tears as she was treated by the trainer, and TV microphones picked up a mention of back spasms when she talked to Andreescu after the match. She had beaten Naomi Osaka, who she faced in last year's US Open final, in the quarter-finals. This year's US Open starts later this month.
Andreescu has faced a similar situation to Williams this year: she was forced to withdraw from the French Open and has missed the last few months with injury. It is her second title since springing to prominence after winning the Indian Wells title in March. Williams has not won a title since returning from the birth of her daughter although she has reached three grand slam finals since then.
