Bianca Andreescu wasn’t pleased with the match coverage

Currently, the former World No.4 is participating in the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. On Tuesday she played her first match of the grass-based Grand Slam and performed brilliantly. However, a majority of Andreescu’s fans in her homeland could not watch her thrash her first opponent because of the broadcasting channels not giving preference to her match.

Thereafter she added, “No problem for Denis or Felix tho TSN, TSN Tennis?” The former World No.10 Denis Shapovalov and the current World No.9 Felix Auger-Aliassime also play under the Canadian flag and had their first round matches on the same day as Andreescu.
