AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Overcoming a back injury and a cold, Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu upset top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-4 Thursday and advanced to the quarterfinals of the ASB Classic.
The 18-year-old Andreescu, a qualifier ranked No. 152, has won Australian Open and French Open junior doubles titles and was ranked No. 3 as a junior.
"I can't believe it right now," Andreescu said. "I've always dreamed of playing on this stage against top players and now I'm here I played against one of the best and so I really don't what to say right now."
Andreescu will next face another former No. 1, Venus Williams.
