Bianca Andreescu’s Remarkable U.S. Open Win
The 19-year-old Canadian’s victory over Serena Williams marks one of the most meteoric rises by a young tennis player in recent years.
Bianca Andreescu is a 19-year old tennis player with many noteworthy qualities. She exhibits a level of swagger that belies her age. She is the rare player who can overwhelm opponents with either dazzling displays of power or deft touch. But by defeating Serena Williams, one of the most decorated practitioners of the sport ever, in today’s U.S. Open women’s singles final (6–3, 7–5), Andreescu proved that her most noteworthy quality is the composure she displays in pressure-packed moments when other players might crumble.
