Bianca Andreescu ‘getting more and more confident’ playing against the world’s best Globe_Sports
Bianca Andreescu, of Canada, smiles as she hugs her trophy after defeating Angelique Kerber, of Germany, in the women's final at the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament Sunday, March 17, 2019, in Indian Wells, Calif.Fresh off her life-changing victory in Indian Wells, Calif., Bianca Andreescu has landed in Miami, ready to face her next test.
But it wasn’t the quick burger stop they expected. Instead, it was a glimpse of how her life has changed. Once inside the restaurant a few kilometres from the tennis venue, she was surrounded by people requesting photos with her. “I’ve never been in a situation like that before, never in the final of a premier event. I think it was all of the emotion and the tension in my body that caused me to get even more tired than I usually would have,” Andreescu said on a Tuesday conference call with reporters. “I learned that even when my body is running out, I can push through it with my mind and that’s what I did in the semi-finals and the final match. I’m capable of putting up wins against high-level players.
The higher ranking she’s accumulated in 2019 is life-changing. If she can maintain it, the ranking earns her direct entrance to the main draws of tournaments, so she’ll no longer have to play in qualifiers.
