Bianca Andreescu, of Canada, poses for photos with 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.As recently as this past spring, you’d probably never heard of Bianca Andreescu.Forget everyone else. With apologies to the McDavids, Crosbys and Hendersons of the world, this next decade belongs to Andreescu.
