Still over here thinking about what a great role model Bandreescu_ is
On September 7, the 19-year-old Canadian made history when she defeated tennis legend and 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams, 6-3, 7-5 to win the U.S. Open in New York. She is the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title and is now ranked fifth in the world for women’s tennis. Oh, and her historic victory comes less than a month after she became the first Canadian in 50 years to win the Rogers Cup when Williams, 37, dropped out because of an upper-back injury.
Bouchard also has been said to refuse handshakes with opponents, telling reporters the gesture is “lame.” “Being able to play on this stage against Serena, a true legend in this sport, is amazing,” said Andreescu after the match. “Oh, man, it wasn’t easy at all.” Later, when accepting her Rogers Cup winner’s trophy, Bianca told Williams, “You are truly a champion on and off the court.”
