Bianca Andreescu just became the first Canadian to win the US Open
She played a great match. I really wanted Serena to win #24 but her serve didn't work today. Still she fought back from 1-5 to 5-7.

Congrats Canucks! You earned this one.

5. Remember she won the Rogers Cup because Serena withdrew with back spasms

I was rooting for Serena but have to give the kid her due. As we age we take longer to recover and coming from behind is much harder.

7. Serena could have prolly beat anyone else in the field today,

Even without her first serve.

Bianca is a very, very serious talent.

4. Serena has been playing professional tennis longer than Bianca has been alive

Had to be an amazing moment for the young woman.

I wanted Serena to win, too, but Bianca showed a lot of grit.

6. Yes indeed

I'm happy for Bianca and Canada.

9. Yes, and the crowd was REALLY behind Serena.....I give her credit for

winning when the crowd was so behind her opponent. She’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with for a long time to come.

10. They were, understandably

Bianca seemed, for a short time, like the pressure was getting to her. But she shook it off.

11. and it was very loud.......I am surprised she did handle it and won, she's 19!!!!!

[mcar]

12. Just 19

Her moments with her parents and coaches was very sweet.

8. Good For Bianca

Venus is and has been nice win or lose. Serena lost me years ago when she went after that tiny official who called a foot fault on her. She went from denying she did it to even if she had the official can’t call that late in the match. Then last year taking from Osaka’s win by not letting go of a call she didn’t like.

She has been a terrific player no doubt but you wonder if she’s won her last major. Youth is always served, and Andreescu is not the only top young woman player on the way up. Bencic and a couple others are coming on hard too.
