Osaka advances in Wimbledon warm-up

(UPDATE) THE HAGUE, the Netherlands — Former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka was dumped out of the 's-Hertogenbosch grass-court tournament in a deciding tiebreak thriller Friday, ending an encouraging run on the surface ahead of Wimbledon.

A battling performance by Canadian Bianca Andreescu, ranked a lowly 228 in the world, took her into the semifinals with a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) victory over the four-time Grand Slam champion.
