Andreescu, Kerber advance to the third round at BNP Paribas Open

Tonight I do not know where to begin, so I’ll start with the end. The final match on Stadium 1 was the long-awaited title defense of 2019 BNP Paribas Open champion, Bianca Andreescu. She is the inspiration for the slogan, “She the North.”

Bianca Andreescu fights past Alison Riske, 7-6(2) 5-7 6-2

Due to COVID impacts to the tour schedule, Andreescu has had to wait almost two years for this moment. It began at 8 pm and what a moment, in this case a long drawn-out battle with American Alison Riske.

First set

The world No.
