It was a much-anticipated clash between former Canadian Open champions, Bianca Andreescu and Camila Giorgi on Tuesday, August 8, impressing fans with a mixture of passion and excitement.

As the crowd buzzed with anticipation, 2021 Canadian Open champion Bianca Andreescu took on 2019 Canadian Open champion Camila Giorgi on court but it was the latter who showed incredible skill and determination in the match that lasted slightly over an hour and a half

In her post-match interview, Andreescu painted a vivid picture of the match. “She hits the ball very hard, She hits the ball very early, she goes for everything and She acts like she the boss on court and She was the boss on court tonight, not me,” Andreescu said, acknowledging Giorgi’s unique style of play.
