Tennis star Bianca Andreescu has been named The Canadian Press female athlete of the year.
Bianca Andreescu, of Canada, holds up the championship trophy after defeating Serena Williams, of the United States, in the women's singles final of the U.S. Open tennis championships Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019, in New York. Bianca Andreescu started the season as an up-and-coming teenager eager to make her mark on the WTA Tour. She finished the campaign as one of its top stars.
Andreescu's list of accomplishments over the last 12 months is a long one. She kept one-upping herself throughout the year. Golfer Brooke Henderson won the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award the last two years. The last tennis player to take the honour was Eugenie Bouchard, who won in 2013 and 2014. "I think now I'm at a stage where I can choose the right shot at the right time," she said. "That's one challenge I think that I've faced this year is to choose the right tool in my toolbox at a certain time. But I think that's improving and I think I can continue to storm the WTA Tour."
A second-round win over then-world No. 35 Dominika Cibulkova and quarterfinal rout of then-world No. 20 Garbine Muguruza stood out before a final victory over Angelique Kerber, the world No. 8 at the time.
