In a two set match, 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu became the first Canadian tennis player, male or female, to win the US Open today. She did it by taking down 23-time major winner Serena Williams 6-3 7-5. And, she made $3.85 million as the winner – same as the men’s winner Rafael Nadal. Serena Williams continues to hunt for her 24th major, which would tie her with Margaret Court’s record 24 total. Ah well, Williams reached the finals in 4 majors in the past 14 months and came up empty for number 24. Enough of that, can you imagine being 19 and beating the player she said she would like to beat in a major final. Go Bianca, congratulations!
