Bianca Andreescu
It's nice to let some anger out sometimes.Collection: Anger
Win or lose, I always learn something.
I didn't expect all of this success to come so quickly.
You never know what next week brings.
I never want to take anything for granted.
I have a lot of weakness in my core, so that's definitely something I'm improving on.
I like to hit every shot in the book.
Venus is a walking, living, breathing legend.
Confidence is almost everything for a player.
For me, the sky's the limit.
Kerber is an incredible fighter. She redirects her shots. She can hit any shot at any time in any specific place whenever she wants.
I learned how much determination I have and that no matter what the score is, anyone can come back.
It's been a crazy ride, truly a Cinderella story.
Nothing can distract me.
I trust myself. I trust my shots.
Ever since I was little, I was changing the pace. I think I was just getting bored on the court, so I was trying anything. It's been working ever since. I've been practicing it, and it's obviously throwing off a lot of players.
Maybe I'll buy myself a nice Gucci bag.
I don't like to look into the future. I just want to stay in the present moment.
It's crazy so many people know my name now. But I really do deserve it because I have put in a lot of work and sacrifices.
I do creative visualisation techniques in the morning. It's only 15 minutes. I used to do hours and hours of it, but I found that 15 minutes has really helped me, and it's not time-consuming at all.
It's crazy what a year can do.
I'll just let my tennis talk.
My goal is always to qualify, maybe get a couple rounds in, but now I've beaten a couple top players.
Seeing a lot of the younger players doing well gives me inspiration.
I've learned that I can be calm during important points.
I think I have good hands, so I try to use them to my advantage.
I want to change the sport for the better. I want to do a lot for women's tennis.
I want to be an inspiration to as many people as I can.
I believe in myself, because I believe anything is possible.
Everyone knows how to play tennis, but it's the mind that really controls everything.
There are ups and downs; that's part of tennis. But I'm up for the challenge.
I can remember watching other Canadians make their big breakouts and saying, 'Hey Mom, when is it going to happen for me?'
I'm an only child, and I don't mind being alone.
I'm a very independent person.
Now that I am gaining more and more experience and getting more and more confident playing against these top-level players, I am definitely not starstruck anymore.
The only pressure, I think, is the pressure I put on myself.
I guess Auckland just brings the best out of me.
My victory against Venus was the most special. She's is a multi grand slam champion; her sister is Serena Williams. I was like, 'What is going on?' I broke her five times in a row. She is one of the best servers in the game.
I got a message from a little girl just saying that she's starting to play tennis because of me. That was pretty amazing.
I think I'm getting more and more experience playing on big stages, and I think that's going to help me with everything.
I'm getting a lot of followers, especially from politicians, which really amazed me. It's really an honour - I'm really grateful for everyone's support.
I was playing 25Ks in Japan, and now I'm the... champion of Indian Wells. It's crazy.
When I meditate, I visualize myself after the match as the winner.
