Seven years after her US Open crown, Bianca Andreescu wins her biggest title since

In 2019, Bianca Andreescu beat Serena Williams to win the US Open at 19 — then injuries kept taking the years away. This week in Rovereto, Italy, the Canadian won the WTA 125 event there, her biggest title since that famous night in New York. After managing only one Grand Slam main-draw match this year and rebuilding on the lower ITF circuit, the win lifts her to 132nd in the world rankings. It is not the summit she once stood on — it is something arguably harder: proof, after seven difficult years, that she can climb again.

The upbeat factora champion written off by injury just won her biggest title in seven years — by refusing to stop climbing.
