Formerly, Bianca Andreescu won the U.S. Open.
The Mississauga, Ontario, kid defeated Serena Williams 6-3, 7-5 to win the Grand Slam singles title and became the first Canadian to do it.
Which Grand Slam did Bianca Andreescu win?
In her first appearance in the U.S. Open main draw, the 19-year-old used her potent forehand and the veteran Williams’ out-of-character poor service game to help her claim her third tournament victory of the year and biggest victory of her career.
In the crowd, Andreescu’s father was seen filming the post-game interview and trophy presentation on his cellphone while very emotional.
When Andreescu was presented prior to the match, the audience cheered loudly, but Williams received an audible standing ovation.
When the new WTA rankings are revealed the following Monday, Andreescu, who was seeded No. 15 at the major, will have risen to a career-high No. 5.
She increased her winning streak this year to 8 against opponents ranked in the top 10 and earned $3.85 million US for the triumph.
