Bianca Andreescu wins Lou Marsh Trophy as the first tennis player

Andreescu was one of the most successful tennis players during the 2019 Season. She has won 48 out of the 55 matches played. In addition, she has won 3 titles and moved to the career-high of 4th place in the WTA Ranking.

Just 19-year-old Canadian has also won more than $6,5 million on prize money and sits on the 5th place of the women's ranking. Thanks to all of these achievements she has achieved during this year, she has won the Lou Marsh Trophy for the best Canadian sportsperson of 2019.

“Wow, I’m so thankful for this award. I was not expecting it and to be the first tennis player to win is even more surreal,” Andreescu said in a release from Tennis Canada.

“None of my success this year would have been possible without the support from all of Canada. Canadian sports crushed it this year so there are definitely many other athletes who deserve a piece of this award as well — we all motivate each other to be better. I can’t wait for what 2020 will bring and am always proud to represent Canada at the highest level.”
