Andreescu's 3-year title drought extended at Wimbledon tune-up in Germany

Caroline Garcia won her first tour title in three years after coming back from a set and a break down to beat 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday in the final of the Bad Homburg Open in Germany.

Garcia took a medical timeout for what seemed to be a shoulder problem early in the second set. She then went 4-2 down before winning 10 of the next 14 games to seal the match ahead of the start of Wimbledon on Monday.

"It was a fight [for] every point from the first to the last one," Garcia said.

Garcia is 8-3 in career finals but her last title was almost exactly three years ago in Nottingham in the build-up to the 2019 Wimbledon tournament.

Kvitova saved five break points in the fourth game of the second set to stay in control of the match at 3-1.

"Playing on the grass is very special for me every time," the 32-year-old Czech player said in her on-court interview. "It's the best preparation for Wimbledon, as well."

Kvitova, the Wimbledon champion in 2011 and 2014, plays Tuesday
