Mere hours after her maiden Grand Slam triumph, Bianca Andreescu was back on the clock, thinking about when the words "US Open champion" would feel at home on her resume.
"After [winning] Indian Wells, it took a couple of weeks to sink in. After [winning] Toronto, it took a couple of days. Hopefully, tomorrow, I can finally realize that it actually happened," she told reporters in an intimate roundtable in a nearly-empty US Open player lounge late Saturday night.
"I was going to say I was more shocked by winning Indian Wells than by winning this, but at the same time, this is a Grand Slam. Right now feels like, ‘What the hell is happening?’"
Arriving in New York as one of the WTA's hottest players, Andreescu running a different kind of table—the one that sees her leave New York with her first major title after winning seven matches—might have only been a surprise if you weren't paying attention.
During last year's US Open, she was sitting at home, injured, after losing in the first round of qualifying. Now the Canadian has vaulted into superstar status just 12 months later.
