MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Indian Wells champion Bianca Andreescu beat Angelique Kerber for the second time in a week, and the result left hard feelings.
Andreescu reached the fourth round of the Miami Open, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 in a match that ended early Sunday.
Andreescu took a medical timeout after seven games to receive treatment on her right arm.
"Biggest drama queen ever," Kerber told Andreescu while offering only a brusque handshake following the match.
