It is always heartening to see tennis stars do small but precious gestures for their fans who admire them immensely.

Recently, Canadian tennis player Bianca Andreescu participated in one such gesture for one of her biggest fans, Tommy.

She sent an adorable message to her fan, wishing him Happy Holidays and thanking him for his support.

In the video, Andreescu could be seen thanking her biggest fan for all the love and encouragement during the tough times.

Hey Tommy, it’s Bianca. I just wanted to take a few moments to say some things. First of all, happy holidays. I wish you all the best. Second of all, thank you so much for all of the support throughout the years, it really means a lot, especially through the rough times because there were a lot, but also a lot of good moments,” Bianca said in the adorable video.

Ever since winning her first Grand Slam title at the 2019 US Open, the Canadian has struggled with injuries which have deterred her chances of continuing the winning momentum. A knee injury forced Andreescu out of contention in 2020 and she finally made a comeback at the ‘Happy Slam’ this year.
