Bianca Andreescu, a Canadian tennis player, is struggling to come to terms with certain hard-hitting realities of the tennis circuit. Did you know that she once had the world at her feet? Yes, in 2019, she became the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam, by beating none other than 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, but since then she has not won a Major title. However, the 2019 US Open champion couldn’t get past the third round of the 2023 French Open, four years after achieving one of the greatest tennis feats in her career.  Goes to show, it is more difficult to stay at the top than to get there.

After suffering an early defeat at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, the 22-year-old tennis player discussed how she would like to connect with some of the best to ever play the game and get some crucial advice on how to remain consistent.

She said, “For sure, I have a lot of unconscious expectations from myself, where it’s like, you know, I think about the Grand Slam. I then think, “Why can’t I continuously have that? But I think a lot of players struggle with it, other than the obvious Djokovic, Federer, Nadal. I still hope to talk to them one day to see how the heck they do it and even Serena like it incredibly.”

Well, she never got an opportunity to connect with The Big 3 of tennis. But in the past, she created a strong bond with the 41-year-old American tennis legend, after defeating her to grab her the first Grand Slam title.
