"I'm very fulfilled right now with Bianca" - Andreescu's coach Bruneau speaks about his work

A coach is an important person to every tennis player, that is why they need to choose them wisely. Bianca Andreescu worked with Sylvain Bruneau during her 2019 Season and it was probably a very good decision as she won the US Open and reached number 4 in the world rankings. When asked about how he started with tennis, Bruneau said:

"I picked up a racquet when I was probably 9 years old. My parents didn't play tennis. I was coming from a small town and it's in Canada, a small town outside of Montreal, so it's snow from December to March. But my neighbors played tennis and I started to play tennis with them. I loved every sport when I was young and I don't know why, but tennis was special. I played soccer, ice hockey, baseball, you name it. I just loved tennis. Sometimes I do reflect on this. How come? Why? But it was just like that.

"From the very first few times I hit the ball, I just fell in love with it, just hitting the balls and trying to put it over the net. Like a lot of people, I hit on the school wall for hours and hours. That's how it started."

Bruneau definitely enjoyed the 2019 Season as Andreescu won 47 out of the 55 matches played. He also spoke about what he enjoys the most about coaching.

"There's a lot of things that I enjoy, but I would say helping someone to achieve their dreams, their goals. I'm wired in a way where I'm passionate about that, people who are just really passionate about what they want to accomplish and to strive to help them along the way. So I would say that.

"I enjoy the travel. I'm competitive. So I really like the aspect of competing. So there's a lot of things. But I would say probably that. And I mean, I must say that I'm very fulfilled right now with Bianca. 2019 has been special."
