TORONTO - Most Canadians had never heard of Bianca Andreescu a year ago but on Sunday they woke up to realize her U.S. Open triumph was not a dream and she had in fact claimed the country’s first Grand Slam singles title.
The 19-year-old’s triumph, which came in her U.S. Open main draw debut and against the undisputed queen of the sport, was the latest step in a meteoric rise for Andreescu and it dominated front pages across the country. When Andreescu faced Williams inside Arthur Ashe Stadium she was cheered on at viewing parties across her home country, the type normally reserved for events like Olympic ice hockey finals featuring Canada but never before for tennis.
In March, as a wildcard, she won the Indian Wells title but a shoulder injury forced her to retire from a last-16 match at the following event in Miami and caused her to miss most of the clay and grasscourt seasons.
