Bianca Andreescu rose to fame in 2019 when she won the Indian Wells Masters, the Canadian Open and the US Open, as a teenager. She became the first teenager since Maria Sharapova in 2006 to win a Grand Slam title and is the only Canadian player so far to have won a single major tournament.

A veritable animal lover, Andreescu recently posted a video about missing her pet dog. She is a dog mom through and through and has a toy chocolate poodle, named Coco.

Bianca Andreescu says she misses Coco terribly

In celebration of the National Puppy Day, US Open’s official Instagram profile shared a video where Bianca is playing during her 2019 dream run at the US Open while Coco witnesses the history from the stands. The 21-year-old Canadian reshared this post and mentioned how much she misses Coco.

The adorable pup is seen on the lap of a woman, possibly Andreescu’s mother, who takes care of Coco, whenever Andreescu is travelling or is on the Tour. “She’s mine, but since I travel so much, I can’t take care of her personally, so my mom takes care of her. So I guess it’s like our dog. But I bought her,” she once said.

She also mentioned how Coco helps calm her down and helps ground her. “It’s crazy — she’s honestly more famous than me. She’s adorable. She brings me so much joy and unconditional love. And she calms me down after my matches. Whenever I see her, I don’t think about anything else, just me in that moment with her,” Bianca added.
