Garcia knocks 2019 champion Andreescu out of US Open

Caroline Garcia has knocked 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu out of the U.S. Open.

The No. 17 seed from France continued her strong summer surge with a 6-3, 6-2 victory that moved her into the fourth round.

Garcia has won 11 straight matches, including the title last month in Cincinnati. She was ranked as low as No. 79 earlier in the summer.

Andreescu’s loss left Serena Williams as the most recent U.S. Open women’s champion in the field. She won the last of three straight in 2014.
