Andreescu after winning her first Grand Slam title: "I had some doubts because I've witnessed her comebacks"

Bianca Vanessa Andreescu won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open after defeating Serena Williams 6-3 and 7-5.

After the match, of course, she faced a number of pleasant duties, such as taking pictures with a trophy or a number of interviews. Andreescu spoke about her feelings:

"I was feeling many, many things before the match, more than any other match," Andreescu said in her post-match press conference. "In the finals, playing Serena. I just tried to breathe as much as I could from the moment I woke up until the match. I tried to just do that throughout the whole match, to just keep my nerves in place.

"It wasn't easy at all. But I think that's what I've been doing really well throughout this whole year."

Canadian also talked about the similarity of the game between her and Serena. But also added that she wants to be unique, because she thinks that her game style is what helped her to achieve everything she managed to achieve this year.

"I think there are some similarities. We like to keep the points short with our aggressive game style. We like to use our serve to our advantage. I think we fight really, really hard.

"But at the same time I want to make a name for myself. I know I have a different game style than many players on the tour right now. It's been working really, really well. It's been working to my advantage. I just want to keep improving it."

Andreescu was already leading 5-1 and 40-30 in the second set, when Serena started to come back and equalized to 5-5. The 19-year-old Grand Slam Champion also spoke about her feelings during these moments.

"I had some doubts because I've witnessed her come back from being 5-0 down, 5-1 down, 5-2 down," Andreescu said. "I just told myself to stick with my tactics. She started playing much better, I think the crowd really helped her, as well."

"I told myself to put the goddamn ball inside the court and just breathe as much as I could because she was serving, first of all. I wanted to win the first point to show her that I am in it to win it."
