TORONTO: Most Canadians had never heard of Bianca Andreescu a year ago but on Sunday they woke up to realise her U.S. Open triumph was not a dream and she had in fact claimed the country's first Grand Slam singles title.
French-language newspaper Le Journal De Montreal crowned Andreescu the new queen with its"La Nouvelle Reine" headline, which featured a full-page photo of her on court kissing the U.S. Open trophy.For a country that produces many of the world's best ice hockey players with regularity, having a Grand Slam singles champion to call their own is new territory.
"Bianca Takes Major Bite Out of Big Apple," read The Province newspaper in British Columbia while the front page of The Times Colonist in Vancouver called it"A day for history: Canada's Andreescu wins U.S. Open." In March, as a wildcard, she won the Indian Wells title but a shoulder injury forced her to retire from a last-16 match at the following event in Miami and caused her to miss most of the clay and grasscourt seasons.
