"It is a massive setback for Andreescu, who has

Andreescu looked to have hit her stride in the past week. She strung three successive wins at a WTA 1000 tournament for the first time since Rome last season.

Andreescu retired, giving Alexandrova safe passage into the quarterfinal where she will face Petra Kvitova.
