Bianca Andreescu beat Katie Swan 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16 at the Bad Homburg tournament on Wednesday.
The Canadian put an end to the duel on the German lawn after 1 h 37 min of play.
It was the first match between the two players since the first round of qualifying for the Australian Open in 2019. The Briton had then abdicated at 1-6 for Andreescu.
This time, the 64th racket in the world proved to be more effective than his opponent on serve, both with his first ball and with his second. However, she was outscored 7-3 in aces.
Additionally, Andreescu converted three of his seven break points against Swan. The latter broke the representative of the maple leaf only once in two occasions.
The 2019 U.S. Open champion will face seeded Daria Kasatkina in the quarterfinals. The Russian continued on after beating Germany’s Jule Niemeier 6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
