–

Bianca Andreescu will be looking for a semifinal slot at the Thailand Open.

But she had a mighty tough opponent in Marta Kostyuk.

Kostyuk is ranked No. 60. But at her best, she’s capable of a lot than that. She made the third round at the Australian Open.

It was a first meeting between the two. And while Andreescu jumped out to a 6-0, 5-1 lead, Kostyuk pushed it to the tiebreak. Luckily for Andreescu, she was able to prevail there and is into the semis.
