Bianca Andreescu

Bianca Vanessa Andreescu (Romanian pronunciation: [andreˈesku]; born June 16, 2000) is a Canadian professional tennis player. She has been ranked world No. 4 in women's singles by the WTA. Andreescu has won three singles titles, two on the WTA Tour, the 2019 Indian Wells Open, the 2019 Canadian Open, and a major title at the 2019 US Open. She is the first Canadian, male or female, to win a major singles title, and the first to win the Canadian Open in 50 years.

Andreescu began playing tennis in her parents' home country of Romania before returning to Canada, the country of her birth. She had success as a junior, winning the Orange Bowl and two major doubles titles with compatriot Carson Branstine en route to reaching a career-best junior ranking of No. 3 in the world. After not playing any matches at the WTA Tour level in 2018, Andreescu had a breakout year in 2019. She rose to prominence by winning the Indian Wells Open, a Premier Mandatory tournament, and later swept the Canadian Open and US Open events, defeating Serena Williams in both finals. Although she missed several months due to injury, Andreescu qualified for the WTA Finals at the end of the season and finished the year ranked No. 5.

Andreescu's style of play combines power with variety and has been widely regarded as "fun to watch" by tennis commentators and journalists. She has strong support from both Canadian and Romanian fanbases.
