The Canadian led Marina Bassols Ribera 6-4, 4-2 when their quarterfinal ended.

Bianca Andreescu advanced to the Cundinamarca Open semifinals Thursday in Sopó, Colombia, after Marina Bassols Ribera retired from their quarterfinal.
Andreescu, the No. 3 seed, won the first set 6-4 and led 4-2 in the second when the sixth-seeded Spaniard retired. The match lasted 1 hour, 39 minutes.
Andreescu will face Slovenia’s Polona Hercog, who beat Alice Tubello 6-2, 6-3. Andreescu, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, defeated Rebeka Masarova in three sets and Laura Pigossi in straight sets earlier this week. The event is a WTA 125 tournament played on clay.
