Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu is enjoying a breakthrough season on the WTA Tour. She has defeated some of the top names in women's tennis this year and is coming off a win over Angelique Kerber in the final of the BNP Paribas Open last weekend.
Andreescu, from Mississauga, Ont., rocketed 36 spots to No. 24 in the world rankings with her title at Indian Wells.
"That's an enormous benefit ... she's now got that," Tennis Canada president and CEO Michael Downey said Monday. "So unbelievable confidence and it just puts her in a far better situation to continue to win."Andreescu became the first Canadian to win a Premier Mandatory singles title on the WTA Tour.
It's the seventh career pro title for the 18-year-old from Mississauga, Ont. Six of her wins came at the ITF level, including her WTA 125K Series crown last January at Newport Beach.
