Andreescu wants to surpass Serena Williams to become the GOAT

The sky is the limit for Bianca and she has the will to achieve sheer greatness!

25 June 2020

Bianca Andreescu stunned Serena Williams last year in the US Open final after beating the American icon in straight sets. In 2019, the Canadian looked to be almost unbeatable when fully fit to be more and more confident about her capability to win many more slams. The world no.6 doesn’t want to just add a couple of more majors under her belt, she wants to become the greatest!

During a recent interview with CNN, Bianca confirmed that she wants to shoot as high as she can.

“I want to surpass Serena and her wins. Maybe even Chrissy Evert, who knows? Margaret Court I like to dream big; it gives me more motivation to actually step on the court and continue doing what I’m doing,” she commented.

The 20-year-old added that she is putting everything she can in her profession.

“Everything I do, I always give 150% and I always want to be the best at it. For my tennis career, I put in so much effort and sacrificed a lot, so I want to be the best. Surpassing those players would make me the best but whatever God has in store for me,” she added.

Considering that Bianca has conquered 1 slam while Margaret Court won 24 majors… that is a long way to go. Why not?
