Andreescu wins third WTA 125 title in less than a month, back in the top 80

Bianca Andreescu cannot stop winning. The Canadian beat Elizabeth Mandlik 6-3, 6-3 in 1 hour 22 minutes in the final of the WTA 125 event in Sopo, Colombia, on Saturday to claim her third title on the circuit in less than a month, after Rovereto and Queretaro.

It was her fourth consecutive final, and she has now won 19 of her last 20 matches. Her only defeat in that run came in the Cali final last week, where Leyre Romero Gormaz beat her 7-6 (4), 6-3 to end a 14-match winning streak.

The 2019 US Open champion, ranked No. 100 this week, will climb to No. 77 in the world on Monday, after years disrupted by injuries.

On every surface

Andreescu’s run began indoors in Rovereto, Italy, in mid-October, before she moved on to clay in Latin America, winning in Queretaro, Mexico, then reaching the final in Cali and lifting the trophy in Sopo.

In Sopo, the third seed dropped only one set, in the first round against Rebeka Masarova. She then beat Laura Pigossi, saw Marina Bassols Ribera retire in the quarter-finals and beat Polona Hercog 6-1, 6-4 in the semi-finals. Mandlik had beaten fifth seed Laura Samson to reach the final.
