Two days before the opening of the Wimbledon tournament, Garcia, 28 and former world number four (currently 75th), will play his first final of the season.
She will challenge Andreescu (64th), who won her ticket to the final without playing after the withdrawal of her opponent, Simona Halep.
The Romanian (N.19) woke up Friday morning "with her neck blocked" and preferred to give up her semi-final.
