Andreescu back in WTA win

Andreescu beat Dalma Galfi 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the opening round at the Credit One Charleston Open on March 31, 2026. (wtatennis.com) She saved five of eight break points and fired four aces during the match, statistics that WTA coverage flagged as signs of improved serve and composure. (fieldlevelmedia.com) The contest lasted about 1 hour 59 minutes, and Andreescu outscored Galfi 84 points to 71 across three sets. (tennistonic.com) Tournament reporting noted Andreescu’s recent form at lower-level events — a 13-1 run that included two Floridian ITF titles in January and a final at the Austin WTA 125 — which helped lift her ranking from No. 228 to No. 140 in the last 10 weeks. (wtatennis.com) WTA coverage listed the string of recent tour-level defeats she’d suffered on her return (losses to Anna Bondár, Viktorija Golubic, Victoria Mboko, Dalma Galfi in Austin and Kamilla Rakhimova), and noted this result ended that five-match skid. (wtatennis.com) Andreescu is scheduled to face 16th seed Sofia Kenin in the second round, a rematch that WTA and match trackers say continues a multi-match head-to-head between two former Grand Slam champions.
