What a story

 

[YEM]

and just like that Genie Bouchard is now not even the most famous women's tennis player in Canada

She'll probably be #3 by the end of the season. She's only a couple of hundred points behind 3rd ranked player and Bianca has almost no points to defend.

There's really no limit at this point. She's only 700 points behind on the race, and that's with missing four months.

Excluding withdrawals due to injury, she's on an absolute ridiculous winning streak. For her to not reach number one, someone is going to have to figure out how to beat her.

She’s got the complete package. The only weaknesses she has are her serve, and she often has lulls within a match. But really she just finds ways to win, and that’s the sign of a champion.

I think of her initial muted reaction after winning as probably a kind of Danny Green thing, who won a Championship with the Raptors only a few moments after he almost gave the game away. She lost four games near the end only to win the Championship anyway. That's a mix of heavy emotions in the moment. You are delighted on the one hand but still a litlle shaken too.

Except Danny was a passenger. Bianca is a beast, She may have moved ahead of Kawhi on my list LOL

So amazing!! I hope Bianca and her team handles this success and notoriety well, at 19 this is probably not that easy. However it is incredible how cool and composed she is. I hope she is truly the next generation, to compete at the top level for years to come, and the past year was not just a fluke.

Based on her game, it’s not a fluke. She’s a more complete player, especially mentally, than Sharapova was. Probably the most promising women’s tennis player since Serena herself. The way she hits the ball is reminiscent of men’s tennis. She may actually force a bit of a revolution in the women’s game. Other players are going to have to change the way they hit the ball now.

Been like that all year, I think.

Bianca's been ranked ahead of her for a while now.

 

[JackSlater]

I'm pleased about Andreescu's victory and I look forward to seeing what she does in the coming years. Looks like a great player.

 

[HaveKnifeWillButcher]

It's a darned shame that Meghan comma Duchess of Sussex had to fly all that way and produce all that CO2 just to see her pal lose.

 

[TCTC]

I don't really follow women's tennis that much, but that was an impressive performance by Andreescu. Lots of potential for sure.

Just a note on Serena.

I think the reason why she doesn’t mind losing to Bianca is that she sees Bianca as her only worthy heir apparent.

I don’t think she she has the same level of respect for Osaka and the rest.

 

[Hadoop]

Hopefully you made out with some decent cash.

Won $900. Pretty happy, though the public and the bookies probably won't underestimate her again.

 

[Hadoop]

So it happened. Bianca really is the best player in the world, at 19, and with the potential to be next generational talent in women's tennis.

Rather disappointing if she doesn't have the same view of Osaka.

Have not seen a women’s player hit the ball with that type of power and spin since... Serena.

Osaka is pretty good but Serena probably looks at Bianca’s tools and attitude and respects the hell out of them. She wasn’t even that upset she lost to her heir apparent today.

I'm glad she didnt throw any tantrums today, actually losing with grace for a change.

Nope.

Congrats, well done sir!!

 

[Beau Knows]

I don't normally watch the women's game, but that was great. I have a feeling I'll be watching more because of her.

 

[TNT87]

Good!

 

[DoyleG]

Someone didn't have confidence in Bianca
