"I mean he's amazing, but I didn't think it would come so soon": Bianca Andreescu was shocked with Jannik Sinner Australian Open triumph

While not involved unfortunately at the Australian Open, Bianca Andreescu still watched the Grand Slam and spoke to TSN giving her thoughts recently on the two winners in Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner.

Andreescu playing on the WTA Tour has a better handle of course on that side of the game being a previous rival of Aryna Sabalenka and the former US Open champion said she wasn't shocked that she picked up back-to-back crowns.

But the 23-year-old who was interviewed at the NHL All-Star game said that Jannik Sinner was more of a shock and that she didn't think it would come as soon. She also shared her displeasure at having to watch from home with Andreescu long being blighted by injuries which saw her postpone her return to action in 2024 until at least Indian Wells and Miami.

"It's not fun watching other players play and you can't play that specific tournament, but it was nice watching the Australian Open. It was nice to get back into the groove of things," she told TSN.

"A lot of the matches were crazy. On the girls side, I wasn't surprised by Sabalenka, but on the guys side, Sinner, I mean, he's amazing, but I didn't think it would come so soon. He's had amazing results, [and] I'm definitely happy for him," she added.
