Andreescu, the 19-year-old Canadian girl won the 2019 US Open. She beat Serena Williams. Williams won her first US Open in 1999. Andreescu wasn’t even born then.

Her rise has been quick. A year ago, she couldn’t even qualify for the US Open. But she always dreamt of winning it. When she was 16, she wrote herself a fake US Open winner’s cheque. The amount of the prize money rose in real life. She kept updating it on the cheque. On the night of her win, she really got the cheque! Before Andreescu, no player had won the US Open in their first appearance. It was also the first win by a Canadian.

“Being able to play on this stage against Serena, a true legend in this sport, is amazing,” said Andreescu, who was appearing in her first major final, while Williams was in her 33rd. “Oh, man, it wasn’t easy at all.” Andreescu keeps dreaming big. “I’ve really tried to be like Serena. Who knows? Maybe I can be better,” she said.
