Bianca Andreescu beat Elizabeth Mandlik 6-3, 6-3 on Saturday to win the Cundinamarca Open in Sopo, Colombia, her third WTA 125 title in the past month. FINAL: Bianca Andreescu 6-3, 6-3, Elizabeth Mandlik 3-6, 3-6, in a final that lasted one hour and 22 minutes on the clay at the Complejo Deportivo La Trinidad.
It was the fourth straight WTA 125 final for the 26-year-old from Mississauga, Ontario, and it completed a run that has changed the shape of her season. The Canadian Press report of the final records Andreescu, the third seed, with five aces, 22 winners to Mandlik’s 12, and five break points converted from nine chances, against 21 unforced errors to the American’s 34. Mandlik managed one ace and never held the match for long enough to threaten the result.

Andreescu Wins The Cundinamarca Open Final In Straight Sets
The Sopo week was the hardest turnaround of the four. Andreescu arrived two days after losing the Cali final, opened against Rebeka Masarova with the only set she dropped all week, a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win, then beat Laura Pigossi of Brazil, saw Spain’s Marina Bassols Ribera retire from their quarter-final, and beat Slovenia’s Polona Hercog 6-1, 6-4 in the semi-finals on Friday. Mandlik, who had beaten fifth seed Laura Samson to reach the final, was the last player standing between Andreescu and the trophy at the first edition of the tournament, and the final followed the pattern of the week: one tight stretch early, then the Canadian pulling clear in straight sets.
The numbers behind the scoreline show why. Andreescu won 69 points to Mandlik’s 54, took seven of her own service games, and kept the pressure on return in both sets, which is the version of her game that made her a Grand Slam champion in 2019, when she won Indian Wells, the Canadian Open and the US Open in a single season at 19 years old. The years since have been broken up by injuries, and that history is exactly what gives a WTA 125 title in Colombia its weight: this is not a comeback announced in an interview, it is a comeback measured in finals, week after week, on two surfaces.
Four Finals, Three Titles, One Loss In A Month
The run began indoors in Rovereto, Italy, in mid-October, where Andreescu beat Dominika Salkova 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 in the final for her highest-level singles title since the 2019 US Open. Two weeks later she won again in Queretaro, Mexico, beating top seed Tatjana Maria 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 in a final iimiTV covered on November 1. The following week in Cali she reached a third straight final before Leyre Romero Gormaz ended her 14-match winning streak 7-6 (4), 6-3. Sopo makes it three titles and one runner-up finish in four tournaments. Tennis Majors records the full stretch at 19 wins in her last 20 matches, the only defeat in that span coming in the Cali final.
The longer arc matters as much as the month. Andreescu started 2026 outside the top 200 and took what Tennis Canada called the less glamorous route back, starting her year at W35 events on the lower circuit, winning in Bradenton and Vero Beach, then working through WTA 125 events and qualifying draws until she qualified for the Wimbledon main draw, her first at a major since the 2024 US Open. “It was definitely very emotional,” she said after that Wimbledon qualifying run in July. “I felt like I really needed to experience what that moment really felt like in that moment.” She has spoken the same way about the season as a whole, crediting her team and saying she has found joy in “the everyday process of it all.”
From No. 172 To No. 77, And A Grand Slam Door Opens
The ranking is the concrete prize. Andreescu began October at No. 172 in the WTA rankings and reached No. 100 this week, her first week inside the top 100 since June 2025. The Sopo title lifts her to No. 77 in the live rankings, with the official move set for Monday, which would be her highest position in more than three years, since she stood at No. 71 in October 2023. A ranking in the 70s, held through the off-season entry deadlines, puts her in position for a main-draw berth at the Australian Open in January, the first Grand Slam of 2027, without needing to qualify.
That is the honest scale of this story, and it is also its limit. A WTA 125 is the lowest tier of tour-level events, a proving ground rather than the main stage, and Andreescu’s three titles have come against fields built from players ranked around and below her. What the month proves is durability: four finals in four weeks, on indoor hard courts in Italy and clay in Mexico and Colombia, with one set dropped in her final tournament. The next test is whether that durability holds when the fields fill with top 50 players again in January. For a Canadian audience that watched her win the US Open at 19 and then watched the injuries take season after season, a 19-1 month and a place back inside the top 80 is not a footnote. It is the first sustained evidence in years that the comeback is real, and Sopo, a straight-sets final closed out in 82 minutes, is where it stopped being a hope and became a record.
