INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Canadian Bianca Andreescu has her first WTA title. The unseeded 18-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., upset eighth-seeded German Angelique Kerber 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in the women’s final at the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday. And after Kerber held serve to go ahead 5-2, Andreescu showed her frustration by repeatedly banging her racket on the surface as she left the court. The two again held serve to start the third set, but Andreescu required medical treatment on her right arm/shoulder after going ahead 2-1. At the break, Andreescu told her coach, Sylvain Bruneau, “My feet were burning” and that she was having trouble moving.
