Miami, March 26: Bianca Andreescu's 10-match winning streak came to an end when she retired during a fourth-round encounter with Anett Kontaveit at the Miami Open due to a shoulder injury.
Andreescu defied the odds to become the first wildcard to be crowned Indian Wells champion
A right shoulder injury halted the rising star's incredible run and ensured Kontaveit will face either Caroline Wozniacki or Hsieh Su-wei in the quarter-finals.
Kontaveit took charge following a rain delay of around 90 minutes and Andreescu called for a medical timeout after losing the first set.
It was all over just 56 minutes into the contest on Court 1, with Andreescu deciding she was unable to continue.
