before bianca andreas skewed winner first ever US Open Championship first
thought I was so nervous I mean there was so many thoughts going through my
head and when I stepped on the court I was just in the zone right from the
start I stuck to the right tactics and I'm really really happy right now before
she would have the most Canadian acceptance speech possible by saying
sorry - beating Serena Williams before Bianca would trend in Canada with the
hashtag Shiva north the celebrations will continue for end
rescue when she returns to her hometown of Mississauga this week the mayor has
already promised her the key to the city before Bianca we get shoutouts from
everyone in the country but Trudeau no John Tory Steve Nash the Raptors the
Leafs it's been crazy I've been feeling all the love from home well that's
everyone except for one person is there anyone you haven't heard from yet
champagne poppy I'm waiting for you God that was a little Canadian cringy you
know I mean before she would clot get over 160,000 followers on Twitter and
more than 500,000 followers on Instagram at the time of this recording
Bianca might be on the top of the tennis world right now but a road to the US
Open Championship was a long one now she was born in Canada it's Romanian
immigrants but Bianca's learned how to play tennis in her Paris home country
and show promise from an early age but Bianca also suffered injuries throughout
her career that held her back from competing for months at a time but we'll
walk you through all that in this video because that's what we do here at that
point I was just so grateful I mean I've been through a lot with injuries and I
had a lot of tough times in my short career thus far so all I can say is that
all those tough times are worth it alright guys it's gonna be a little
frank with you know Bianca she was on the Canadian YouTube trending tab in the
number one spot the number two spot and the number five spot just yesterday and
well we were a little conflicted about making this video because one I don't
think our audience are a whole bunch of tennis fanatics and two well this video

you guys gotta let us know who's next in the comics down below but before we
start I got a trivia question for you guys what artist does Bianca listen to
before she steps on the court for a match the answer might surprise you so
stick around for that I'll be a little later in this video
and for those guessing it's Drake it is not let's get into this one
Bianca Vanessa andreas skew was born on June 16 2011 Theriot Canada same places
Gigi gorgeous furious Pete good old Michael McCrudden just me I was
like 14 years earlier anyway he'll be out to her middle name it was inspired
by the actress Vanessa Williams her romanian parents they moved to Canada in
1994 after her father Nico he accepted a job as an engineer though he attended
Transylvania University of brasov and he was offered to move to Canada upon
graduation now her mother she graduated from the University of Cary vova and was
appointed chief compliance officer of global maximum investment in Toronto and
you know that's after moving here with Nico but surely after be out that she
was born and she relocated back to her home country of Romania with her mother
when they lived with her grandparents for a little while they'll be out cuz
she began testing out every sport she could playing soccer skating swimming
and doing gymnastics before she finally began playing tennis at the age of seven
years old now her father he was friends with a tennis coach who would trade
Bianca and his son Radu together know when they were done
their school one of her favorite tennis players growing up was a woman by the
name of Simona Halep as she was a fellow Romanian player now
Bianca she tried to model her earlier game after Simona and that woman well
she was heavily inspired by both the Williams sisters though she learned the
basics overseas but her and her family would then return to Canada where
Bianchi began to build herself into the champion she is today
Bianca trained at the entero rhaggy Club in Mississauga and then joined tennis
Canada u14 national training center in good old Toronto now going into the 2014
season at just 14 years old well Bianca was ranked at number 332 on the ITF
junior rankings but just five months later she became the youngest player to
be ranked within the top 50 as she reached number 54 in the rankings
now during that season she racked up three titles and three finals beating
players three to four years older than her in most match
though she also became the third Canadian ever to win the lesbo cheese
asked and apparently that's the biggest under 14 tournament in the world it's
also French I know a little bit but improving so much it didn't come easy
maybe she was working daily on our mental and physical strength jeevan's
daily meditation as a crucial part of our morning routine since her mom taught
her to do so at the age of 12 she calls it creative visualization creative
visualization where she sees her successful future in her mind clearly
right yeah wonder if she visualized sitting that would be valid she's
probably dead in an interview with tennis Canada at the time she stated
I've really improved my mental and physical strength this year this really
helps me win matches because I am focused positive and believe in myself
on and off the court my fitness helps me sustain myself through matches and long
points she also wasn't working on these things alone now she had the opportunity
to train with former Wimbledon finalist Nathalie Tauziat who was also the former
coach of Jeannie Bouchard and Alexandra Wozniacki I hope I got those names
correctly speaking and the experience of working with a legend will be Anka
stated having Nathalie by my side has been such a blessing she's really nice
very upbeat funny and she cares about me she is there to improve my game at all
levels I feel that we connect and understand each other Wow and conjugate
will she describe Bianca as she can do many things she has good hands and she's
a very powerful girl she has big goals and she is doing many things to reach
these big goals great quote great quote never even have the time Bianca was
visualizing her goals she told the website that she hoped to
win a junior grand slam and become one of the top three junior players in the
world now I have a feeling she isn't as surprised as she may be acting about her
win she has been confident in her skills from the very start know Bianca editor
sees it by winning the under 16 and under 18 titles at the Orange Bowl to
become the fourth straight Canadian to win the under-16 event and the
Canadians 2009 to windfall oh yeah she was only you know 15 years old with
the time not bad
but there were a lot of ups and downs before this point no during the 2015
season Bianca she began by winning both the singles and doubles titles at the
grand 2 tournament in La Paz and then she won her third junior doubles title
just two weeks later but while she qualified for her first Junior Grand
Slam at the French Open she was defeated in the first round of girls singles
competition and in the second round doubles now Wimbledon she was also
eliminated in the first round of singles at second round of doubles now at the
2016 Rogers Cup Bianca she received some words of encouragement from both her
former idol Simona Halep and Holub told Bianca that she's got what it takes to
go professional that because of her tennis career Bianca she completed her
high school education online at Build Crothers Secondary School in Unionville
know Bianca she was named the 2015 outstanding junior female by tennis
Canada in 2016 at the Australian Open well Bianca was the number one seed in
both the girls singles and the doubles competition but better advancing to the
third round she was forced to withdraw from the competition
because of her occurring injuries she was struggling with injuries that
included her left adductor or her right ankle and a stress fracture in her foot
that she just couldn't get over now an article in the Toronto Star from that
year it was titled injuries the biggest opponent for canada's junior tennis star
know Bianca she said at the time it's better than it's happening now than
later it depends what kind of pain it is if
it's like 2 and a 10 I could play due to the injury well Bianca she was unable to
compete for six straight months now upon her return she won her first ever
professional title as the gatineau 25k tournament by 2018 Yahoo was the third
ranked woman's player in Canada behind Ally Bouchard Isaiah but her injuries
they continue to be a problem in April of 2018 she was forced to leave her name
out of tournament play for another six months once again she battled back from
injury only to come back even stronger 2090 became Bianca's biggest year yet
Bianca's buzz began to grow to run at the ASB Classic in Auckland
where she made it to the finals beating out 6e Venus Williams and first seed
Caroline Wozniacki I think I butcher that theory and before losing to second
seed Julia georgous she told Toronto life.com
win against Venus Williams at the ASB Classic was definitely a highlight I
kept telling my trainer to pinch me because I really couldn't believe it I
grew up admiring the Williams sisters shortly after that Bianca she won her
first WTA 125k title in Newport Beach which bumped her ranking up to an
all-time high of 68 she finally became Canada's top ranked player later in the
year her ranking you got another bump all the way to the 24th average became
the first wild card to reach the finals and the third wild card to reach the
semi-finals at the Indian Wells from your mandatory event the only other two
to compete that feat where Kim sisters and Serena Williams now Bianca she won
the tournament and three sets no once again no injuries it caught up to her
and Bianca she was forced to miss another three months of competing dude
wore her shoulder now she chose to spend the majority of her grass court season
resting her shoulder and rehabilitating Bianca returned to compete in her home
tournament the Rogers Cup and she came back swing it now she beat two former
top ten players including fellow Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and two
current top 10 players now in the finals she faced off against Serena Williams
that's like you know faced and Bowser at Super Mario this time injuries they got
the best of Serena who was forced to retire down one two three in the first
set and this became Bianca's second WTA but if it turns out that was just a
warm-up now the two would face off again in the finals as the US Open they'll be
out cuz she defeated Serena in straight sets and became the first Canadian to
win the Grand Slam singles title the first woman to win the US Open in her
debut appearance and the first player born after 2000 to win a Grand Slam
tournament and well that's a lot of firsts now currently she is ranked at
number five in the world so I guess there's a well there's still one more
one for her to reach she stated in the interview back in February that her
pregame ritual is to wash her hands grip her racquets and listen to hip-hop
she said that Kodak black was her go to pre-match music who woulda thunk it yeah
