UP FOR GRABS! Bianca Andreescu Set To Achieve a Milestone Which Serena Williams Couldn’t

Canadian tennis player Bianca Andreescu is a highly talented player in the women’s game. After winning her maiden Grand Slam title in 2019, she has been a victim of injuries that have forced her to remain on the sidelines for a considerable amount of time. 

However, Bianca Andreescu is busy competing in the Indian Wells 1000 event in the Californian desert. The event is usually held during March but due to the global pandemic, organizers felt it would be best to hold the tournament at this time of the year. 

Coming back to the Canadian star, she won the title in 2019 and is the defending champion as the event was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. If she manages to win the tournament this season, she would’ve then won the title in consecutive years.

Bianca Andreescu can create history 

Even the great Serena Williams has never managed to achieve this feat. The 40-year-old player has won the tournament twice along with the likes of Maria Sharapova. However, they have never won it back-to-back.

Due to that, Bianca has the opportunity to do something which even a figure like Williams has not managed to achieve. Williams won titles in 1999 and 2001, whereas Sharapova won titles in 2006 and 2013. 

Reflecting on Andreescu, she managed to win her first-round match against American player Alison Riske in the Indian Wells event. It was a close-fought match in which the Canadian player had to dig deep to win the match. In the end, she survived and won the match in three close sets. 

In her next round match, she will be facing Anett Kontaveit. We wish her all the best and hope she can achieve that milestone, which would give her added confidence after spending most of the season on the sidelines.
