The 2019 US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu, the first player born in the 21st century to win a Grand Slam title, turned 24 on Sunday (June 16). Although her journey has been challenging, marked by injuries and poor form she made a comeback at the French Open this year after being sidelined for nearly nine months. She reached the third round in Paris, but in s-Hertogenbosch she has now made it to the finals. Can she make her day super special on Sunday by winning the title? Well, with the support of her mother, the Canadian is now ready to roar!

Her mother, Maria Andreescu, who is a chief compliance officer for an investment firm in Toronto has been a “role model” for her daughter. Bianca Andreescu has often revealed how her mum guided her to build a strong mentality and be “unapologetically herself“. The 24-year-old player recently, put up a post on Instagram showcasing her excitement of paying the finals on a special day. She wrote, “birthday final tmrw” in the captions of the picture featuring herself swinging her ‘mighty sword‘ on the grass court. Her mother came up with a swift comment on that post providing a bundle of morale boost ahead of the mega battle. Her mum wrote, “Lets go baby” and attached three ‘heart‘ emojis along with it.

This will be Bianca Andreescu’s first championship match on grass since her final appearance at the Bad Homburg Open almost 2 years ago. Although her opponent in the finals is not yet decided. However, this message will surely get her pumped up ahead of this match. Previously during an interview, Bianca Andreescu revealed how her mother taught her to “never give up.” Reflecting on the same she stated, “I feel that as a kid, she’s always told me things like ‘never give up’, ‘always go for your dreams’, ‘don’t settle for less’. And those things I feel like are just ingrained through my mind. I’m glad it’s transferring onto the tennis court as well.“

This Canadian tennis player’s journey hasn’t been a bed full of roses yet she overcame all the hurdles to bring back her A-game. After comfortably defeating the Hungarian qualifier, Dalma Galfi in two sets in the SF, she was heard attributing her success to the “hard work” and “perseverance” that she has been putting in the last few months. Her mother has been the strongest pillar of her support during her tough days. Just a few months ago, Bianca Andreecu was also spotted sharing a heartfelt message to her mum on her birthday.
