MIAMI — Canada's Bianca Andreescu is heading to the final of the Miami Open after yet another three-set victory.
The eighth-seeded Andreescu fought back from a break down twice in the third set to beat No. 23 seed Maria Sakkari of Greece 7-6 (7), 3-6, 7-6 (4) in a rain-delayed match that finished at 1:35 a.m. ET on Friday.
Andreescu has won her past four matches in three sets and has won six three-setters in a row overall. Eight of her 11 matches this year have gone the distance.
