(Reuters) - Bianca Andreescu's remarkable run of form was brought to an end by injury at the Miami Open on Monday when the Canadian teenager retired with a shoulder problem while trailing 6-1 2-0 in her fourth-round clash with Estonia's Anett Kontaveit.

The 18-year-old arrived in Miami fresh off her triumph at Indian Wells, where she became the first wild card to win the prestigious event, but an overworked right shoulder ended any hopes of extending her 10-match winning streak.
