Bianca Andreescu

Bianca Vanessa Andreescu was born in Mississauga, Ontario to Nicu and Maria Andreescu. Her parents emigrated from Romania to Canada in 1994 when her father accepted a job in the country. Andreescu's father works as a mechanical engineer at an automotive company, while her mother had worked at a bank in Romania. Her family moved back to Romania when Bianca was six years old so that her mother could start a business in their home country. After two and a half years, they closed the business and returned to Canada. Her mother has since worked as the chief compliance officer at a financial services company.{{cite news |last1=Freeze |first1=Colin |title=Bianca Andreescu's cool, hard-working demeanour comes from the example set by her Romanian parents |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-from-romania-to-ontario-ambition-has-always-driven-the-andreescu/ |website=The Globe and Mail |access-date=28 November 2019 |date=September 8, 2019 |archive-date=September 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190914222533/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-from-romania-to-ontario-ambition-has-always-driven-the-andreescu/ |url-status=live }} Andreescu began playing tennis in Pitești at the age of seven.

She won her first titles in 2014, three in singles and one in doubles, at Grade-4 and Grade-5 tournaments, the two lowest levels.

Andreescu moved up to higher-level events in early 2015, winning both the singles and doubles titles at the Condor De Plata tournament in Bolivia, her first Grade-2 tournament. She finished runner-up to compatriot Charlotte Robillard-Millette at the Open International Junior de Beaulieu-sur-Mer, her first Grade-1 tournament. Andreescu had less immediate success at the highest-level Grade-A tournaments, losing her opening round matches at her first four such events, which included the last three major events of the year.

Andreescu had more success at the Grand Slam tournaments in 2016, but did not win any titles in singles or doubles at any level. As the top seed at the Australian Open in both singles and doubles, she withdrew from both events after two matches each because of recurring injuries involving her left adductor and right ankle, as well as a stress fracture in her foot.{{cite web|url=http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100035724|title=Drawsheet: Australian Open Junior Championships|website=International Tennis Federation|access-date=January 30, 2016|archive-date=January 27, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160127133132/http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100035724|url-status=live}} These injuries kept her out for six months.{{Cite news|url=http://www.tenniscanada.com/video-strong-canadian-contingent-third-edition-gatineau-national-bank-challenger/|title=Strong Canadian contingent for the third edition of the Gatineau National Bank Challenger|date=July 7, 2016|website=Tennis Canada|access-date=July 9, 2016|archive-date=July 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160709142954/http://www.tenniscanada.com/video-strong-canadian-contingent-third-edition-gatineau-national-bank-challenger/|url-status=live}} Andreescu returned to competition at Wimbledon, where she lost in the third round.

In this group, they needed to finish first in their round robin pool, win a tie against the other round robin pool winner, and then win another tie in the play-off round to get promoted to the second tier the following year.

Andreescu employs a wide variety of shots into her style of play that is set apart by the level of power she incorporates into her game. Martina Navratilova in particular has noted, "Everyone knows how to bang the ball; it's when you bring something extra to the table that it makes all the difference, and Andreescu brings a lot of extra to the table. Think the variety (almost) of [former world No. 1] Martina Hingis, but with more power."{{cite web |last1=Navratilova |first1=Martina |title=Navratilova: Andreescu plays like Hingis but with more power |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/1449515/navratilova-andreescu-plays-like-hingis-but-with-more-power |website=WTA Tennis |access-date=28 November 2019 |date=March 20, 2019 |archive-date=November 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191128080249/https://www.wtatennis.com/news/1449515/navratilova-andreescu-plays-like-hingis-but-with-more-power |url-status=live }} One of the keys is to her style of play is having good shot selection, which she excelled at in particular when she won her first career WTA title at the 2019 Indian Wells Open.

She also can hit moonballs on occasion for the same purpose. Following a loss to Andreescu at the 2019 US Open, Caroline Wozniacki likened her style to that of Kim Clijsters, one of Andreescu's childhood tennis idols, saying "I think because [Andreescu] moves well and she can stretch out and get to some balls and also play the aggressive and using the angles. Obviously she prefers the forehand just like Kim... But she can move around the backhand and put the angle on it."{{cite news|title=Bianca Andreescu Flattered By Clijsters Comparison After Latest US Open Triumph|url=https://www.ubitennis.net/2019/08/bianca-andreescu-flattered-clijsters-comparison-latest-us-open-triumph/|access-date=November 28, 2019|website=Ubi Tennis|date=August 31, 2019|archive-date=September 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190905182141/https://www.ubitennis.net/2019/08/bianca-andreescu-flattered-clijsters-comparison-latest-us-open-triumph/|url-status=live}}

Andreescu began playing tennis under Gabriel Hristache in Romania. When training with Tennis Canada at the U14 National Training Centre, she worked with Lan Yao-Gallop for two years starting at the age of twelve. Yao-Gallop, who played professionally for five years, remarked that Andreescu always played with power, but initially lacked control. Andreescu also worked with Aref Jallali at this time. Later on at the age of fourteen, she was coached by Nathalie Tauziat and André Labelle, both of whom also worked with Tennis Canada. Tauziat is a former French professional player who was ranked as high as No. 3 in the world and finished runner-up at Wimbledon in 1998. She served as Andreescu's primary coach at the time and focused on having her improve at taking the ball early, which Andreescu viewed as having an immediate impact on her success as a junior player. Labelle travelled from Montreal to Toronto so that Andreescu did not need to leave home to train.{{cite news |last1=Myles |first1=Stephanie |title=Injuries the biggest opponent for Canada's junior tennis star |url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/tennis/2016/01/26/injuries-the-biggest-opponent-for-canadas-junior-tennis-star.html |newspaper=The Toronto Star |access-date=November 28, 2019 |date=January 26, 2016 |archive-date=May 31, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200531063958/https://www.thestar.com/sports/tennis/2016/01/26/injuries-the-biggest-opponent-for-canadas-junior-tennis-star.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Brady |first1=Rachel |title=How Tennis Canada nurtured Andreescu all the way to the top |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-bianca-andreescu-followed-plan-all-the-way-to-the-top/ |website=The Globe and Mail |access-date=November 28, 2019 |date=September 8, 2019 |archive-date=September 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190914222756/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-bianca-andreescu-followed-plan-all-the-way-to-the-top/ |url-status=live }} In March 2018, Andreescu switched from Tauziat to Sylvain Bruneau, another Tennis Canada coach, so that she could have a full-time traveling coach.{{cite web |last1=Myles |first1=Stephanie |title=Tauziat-Andreescu partnership done |url=https://tennis.life/2018/04/27/tauziat-andreescu-partnership-done/ |website=Tennis Life |access-date=November 28, 2019 |date=April 27, 2018 |archive-date=November 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191128203800/https://tennis.life/2018/04/27/tauziat-andreescu-partnership-done/ |url-status=live }} In 2024, Andreescu appointed her hitting partner of three years, J.T.

However, Simona Halep has been her favorite player at times due to the two having a similar style of play and also because she is Romanian. Andreescu has said she tried to model her game after that of Halep. She first met Halep at the 2016 Canadian Open, where Halep advised her to turn professional.{{cite web|url=https://www.treizecizero.ro/news/bianca-andreescu-am-inceput-tenisul-in-romania-si-m-am-indragostit-de-acest-sport|title=Bianca Andreescu: "Am început tenisul în Romania și m-am îndrăgostit de acest sport"|website=Treizeci Zero|language=ro|access-date=September 19, 2019|trans-title=Bianca Andreescu: "I started tennis in Romania and fell in love with this sport"|last=Butuligă|first=Camelia|date=January 4, 2019|archive-date=March 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329185242/https://www.treizecizero.ro/news/bianca-andreescu-am-inceput-tenisul-in-romania-si-m-am-indragostit-de-acest-sport|url-status=live}} Andreescu also stated she looked up to Kim Clijsters and the Williams sisters.{{cite web|url=https://torontolife.com/city/toronto-sports/qa-bianca-andreescu-torontos-newest-tennis-phenom/|title=Q&A: Bianca Andreescu, Toronto's newest tennis phenom|first=Courtney|last=Shea|date=February 25, 2019|website=Toronto Life|access-date=14 August 2019|archive-date=August 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814215510/https://torontolife.com/city/toronto-sports/qa-bianca-andreescu-torontos-newest-tennis-phenom/|url-status=live}}

She has been regularly practicing a form of meditation called creative visualization since she was 12 years old. She also practices yoga. She has said, "I don't only work on my physical aspect. I also work on the mental, because that's also very, very important. It's definitely showing through my matches where I'm staying in the present moment a lot of the time. I don't like to focus on what just happened or in the future." While she used to practice creative visualization for a few hours a day, she has since limited this type of meditation to 15 minutes per day due to her busy schedule.{{Cite web|url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/%E2%80%98-first-thing-i-do-meditate%E2%80%99-bianca-andreescu-visualizes-indian-wells-success|title='The first thing I do is meditate': Bianca Andreescu visualizes Indian Wells success|last=Livaudais|first=Stephanie|date=March 14, 2019|website=WTA Tennis|access-date=September 6, 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190401012853/https://www.wtatennis.com/news/%E2%80%98-first-thing-i-do-meditate%E2%80%99-bianca-andreescu-visualizes-indian-wells-success | archive-date= April 1, 2019 | url-status=dead}} Andreescu's former coach Aref Jallali credited her mental fortitude to her mother, while another of her former coaches attributed her ability to manage stress to her father.
