No matter who won on Saturday at the US Open, history was going to be made. Serena was trying for a record-tying 24th Slam title, while Bianca Andreescu trying to become the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam title.
TWITTER REACTS TO ANDREESCU’S US OPEN TITLE
In the end, it was 19-year-old Andreescu who prevailed in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, and entered the annals of sports trivia lore. Following her win, tennis pros and fellow Canadians — including the prime minister, took to Twitter to offer congratulations:
