Early life and background

Bianca Vanessa Andreescu was born on 16 June 2000 in Mississauga, Ontario, and grew up in Thornhill, Ontario. Her family is of Romanian origin and moved between Canada and Romania during her early years. She attended Bill Crothers Secondary School in Markham and completed her high school diploma. Bianca is bilingual and speaks Romanian, reflecting her family roots.

She began playing tennis regularly at age seven. Early promise at junior events led to enrollment in Team Canada’s Under-14 National Training Centre in Toronto when she was 11. Success at prominent junior tournaments, including Les Petits As and the Orange Bowl, helped convince her and those around her that tennis would be her professional path.

Career

Andreescu turned professional in 2017. Over the next few years she progressed through the ITF circuit and lower-level professional events, claiming multiple ITF titles and a WTA 125K title at Newport Beach in 2019. Her first ITF title came at the Challenger Banque Nationale de Gatineau in 2016, and she won additional 25K events in 2017.

Her breakthrough on the WTA Tour came in 2019. In March she captured the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, registering her first WTA Tour title and moving her into the top 25 in the world. August 2019 brought a home-country triumph when she won the Rogers Cup (Canadian Open), becoming the first Canadian to lift that trophy since 1969.

The pinnacle of Andreescu’s 2019 season arrived at the US Open in September. She defeated Serena Williams in the final to become the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title. That victory also made her the first woman to win the US Open on her debut and the first player born in the 2000s to claim a Grand Slam singles championship. Following the US Open she reached a career-high ranking of World No. 5 on 9 October 2019.

By 2019 Andreescu’s professional trophy tally included three WTA titles, one WTA 125K title and multiple ITF titles. Her coaches have included Nathalie Tauziat and Sylvain Bruneau. Her on-court achievements earned several honours in Canada and on the WTA Tour: she received the Fed Cup Heart Award and Tennis Canada’s Female Player of the Year Award in 2017, was named Female Summer Athlete of the Year at the 42nd Canadian Sport Awards in 2019, was chosen as Canada’s Athlete of the Year on 10 December 2019, and was awarded WTA Newcomer of the Year for 2019.

Public profile

Andreescu’s playing style and rapid rise made her a prominent figure in Canadian sport in 2019. Her accomplishments prompted public recognition from national leaders. She has spoken publicly about her admiration for players such as Kim Clijsters, Simona Halep, Serena Williams and Venus Williams; Halep in particular has been a close friend and an influence on her decision to turn professional.

Off the court, she maintains a relatively private personal life. She has a pet dog named Coco who is sometimes seen with her at tournaments. She enjoys activities like yoga and meditation, listens to hip-hop, and has said she likes rescuing stray dogs. She goes by the nickname Bibi and also uses her middle name Vanessa at times.

Latest updates

By the end of 2019 Andreescu had completed the season as one of tennis’s most talked-about newcomers, collecting major titles and multiple awards. Her ranking peaked at World No. 5 on 9 October 2019 following the US Open triumph. In December 2019 the WTA named her Newcomer of the Year.
