Canada now has a new top-ranked player in Womens Bianca Andreescu! She defeated American Jessica Pegul in three pulsating sets, overcoming a first set bagel 0-6, 6-4, 6-2 to win the Newport Beach WTA 125K event.
I tried to calm myself down because I was getting really annoyed with myself in that first set, and I have give credit to Jessica because she played really well, said Andreescu. I tried to leave that set behind and focus on the next and I think I stayed in the present moment throughout the second and third set after that.
These are the matches I live for. These are the ones that mean the most, she further added. Speaking about winning the biggest title of her career so far in her life, she said, I tried to just stay in the present moment and let go of my shots more.
I think when I do that I play my best tennis. The momentum really started to shift [in the third set] when I broke her at 2-all and went up to 3-2 because then I was serving, and got that 4-2 lead which made a big difference.
I want to just keep things going. I just feel like a lot is clicking for me so hopefully I can just keep the same routines and work through the challenges. Li Na: I could never do like Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka
