Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu advanced into the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Saturday after defeating Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-4.
It's the furthest the 19-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., has gone at a Grand Slam event.
She'll next face Taylor Townsend of the U.S., in what will be their first meeting against each other.
Andreescu, ranked No. 15 in the world, started off strong against Wozniacki and broke her in the first game of the first set.
Her opponent would bounce back and broke the Canadian in the second game to even up the set.
Andreescu recovered from being down 0-30 in the seventh game of the set to break Wozniacki once again.
The momentum gained from the first set victory carried into the second as Andreescu once again broke her opponent in the first game of the second set and again in the third to take a 3-0 advantage.
But Wozniacki, a former world No. 1, would break Andreescu twice over the following three games to even up the set at 3-3.
The two sides would continue breaking each other until the final game of the set when Andreescu held serve. The Canadian finished the match with 27 winners.
Andreescu, who improved her record to 39-4 in 2019, has captured titles at the Rogers Cup in Toronto earlier this month and Indian Wells in March.
