MIAMI – No. 1-ranked Ash Barty won her second successive Miami Open championship Saturday by beating No. 8-seeded Bianca Andreescu, who was injured when she fell and retired trailing in the second set.
Andreescu, crying and shaking her head, conceded while behind 6-3, 4-0. She stumbled and went sprawling two games earlier when she turned her foot awkwardly while hitting a forehand.
During the ensuing changeover, a trainer taped her foot, but she played only five more points before retiring. “Definitely not the way I wanted to end the tournament,” Andreescu said, “but I'm super grateful nonetheless.
I got to the final of one of my first tournaments in a while now, and I could not be more happy.” The match was the first between Barty and
