Andreescu and Halep recognised with National Sports Awards

US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu and Wimbledon champion, Simona Halep have both been recognised for their achievements by winning national sports awards as the end of 2019 approaches.

Halep was given the Player of the Year award at the Romanian Tennis Awards; she also received an award as part of the successful Fed Cup team who received a special award for their progress throughout 2019.

Andreescu on the otherhand won the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award in the form of the Canadian Press Female Athlete of the Year; as she took 66/68 of the votes to end what was an exceptional year for the 19-year old.

She will hope though that she can continue this form as the last tennis player to take the honour was Eugenie Bouchard who won it in 2013 and 2014. Since then she has flattered to deceive; with injuries blighting her progress, currently sits 214th in the World rankings.
