Bianca Andreescu was content with the effort despite coming up just short of a second career Grand Slam title on Thursday.
The 22-year-old Canadian and partner Michael Venus of New Zealand were beaten by first-time Grand Slam champions Miyu Kato of Japan and Tim Puetz of Germany 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 in the match tiebreak of the French Open mixed doubles final."I think most doubles matches are literally a point here, a point there that really, really count, but I thought we played great," Andreescu said. "They came in clutch in a few certain moments.
Kato and Puetz rode that momentum to victory in the match tiebreak, which is played in lieu of a third and deciding set at Roland Garros. For Andreescu, who harbours ambitions of winning more singles Grand Slam titles, the experience of playing to the end of a major two-week event is a positive. "I mean, I could do that myself, but it's always nice to have that person or somebody just say that to you out loud."
