Bianca Andreescu Will Face Serena Williams in Historic Roger Cup Final

TORONTO — Teenager Bianca Andreescu advanced to the Rogers Cup title match with a 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Sofia Kenin on Saturday, becoming the first Canadian in 50 years to make the women's final.

The 19-year-old Andreescu, from nearby Mississauga, will face Serena Williams on Sunday.

Canadians Faye Urban and Vicki Berner played in the 1969 final, with Urban winning the tournament that was played on clay and called the Canadian Open.

''For sure there's some pressure, but I have nothing to lose, really,'' Andreescu said. ''We'll see how it goes. I'm just going to try and stay in the present moment.''

Williams beat Czech qualifier Marie Bouzkova 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the second semifinal.
