Andreescu’s Interview
After the match, Bianca commented:
“I was feeling many, many things before the match, more than any other match. In the finals, playing Serena. I just tried to breathe as much as I could from the moment I woke up until the match. I tried to just do that throughout the whole match, to just keep my nerves in place.
It wasn’t easy at all. But I think that’s what I’ve been doing really well throughout this whole year.”
