The US Open women’s final saw what a very few anticipated! 19-year-old Canadian Bianca Andreescu won her maiden Grand Slam title, downing 23-time major champion Serena Williams. That too in straight sets– 6-3, 7-5!
During the match, the rookie looked like a veteran as she kept Williams guessing with precise, aggressive hitting off the ground, and dominated rallies with her forehand. With this win, Andreescu became the first Canadian woman to win a Slam singles title in the open era. She even joins Naomi Osaka and Ashleigh Barty as first-time slam winners in their maiden final appearance over the past 12 months.
After the significant win, social media was flooded with praises and messages of congratulations for Bianca Andreescu and here are a few:
This girl is 🔥!! Huge congrats to @Bandreescu_ the first ever Canadian singles Grand Slam champion! Wow! 🏆🇨🇦
