Tennis: Canada's Bianca Andreescu beats three-time major champion Angelique Kerber, becoming first wild card to win Indian Wells WTA title
Bianca Andreescu, of Canada, smiles as she hugs her trophy after defeating Angelique Kerber, of Germany, in the women's final at the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament Sunday, March 17, 2019, in Indian Wells, California.
Andreescu, 18, shook off fatigue to topple the eighth-ranked German, who hasn't won a title since she beat Serena Williams in last year's Wimbledon final for her third Grand Slam crown. Ranked 60th coming into the tournament, Andreescu is projected to rise 36 spots to 24th in the world with her first WTA title.
Andreescu won on her fourth match point when Kerber netted a backhand. Kerber was the last of five seeded players that Andreescu knocked off in her seven matches in the Southern California desert.
