Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) v Bianca Andreescu (CAN) | 2026 Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers | Highlights

Great work from Andreescu sprinting across to get that forehand cross-court. Goes for the forehand cross-court, spots the space there and that's a good change of direction. Andreescu gets the break for Canada, this is the perfect start for the former world number four. And it's out! Putinsaeva takes the opening set in a tie break. Big celebrations go up around the Beeline Arena. Putinsaeva celebrates to herself, pumps her fist and what a hard-fought first set win that was. But it means now that Kazakhstan are one set away from winning this match and with it the entire tie. Putinsaeva came from an early breakdown to level up in the tenth game. Nerves of steel to wrap up the tie break. Great pressure from Andreescu. What a return! Wow! That is unbelievable from Andreescu. Listen to the screen. Andreescu rescues set number two. Wins it six games to three to send us to a decider here. She's given Canada a real chance now. Goodness me! A drop shot once again from Andreescu. Putinsaeva up at the net. Nicely done. Cross court with the backhand. Putinsaeva gets the break back to level up. Four games all now. Oh my goodness! Unbelievable! How on earth did she manage to play the ball from that angle? A brilliant volley from Putinsaeva cancels out the advantage. Back to Jus. Nicely done. Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness me! Putinsaeva falls to the ground in relief of getting through an absolutely marathon battle as Andreescu's final serve goes awry. What a warrior the Canadian is. She has been out on court for nigh on five hours across her two matches. Putinsaeva falls to the ground with relief that this match has finally, finally come to an end. An unbelievable marathon encounter between these two players.
