THROWBACK VIDEO: Andreescu becomes Indian Wells Champion a year ago today

Indian Wells might not be taking place at least for the foreseeable due to the Coronavirus outbreak but with that, we take a look back at a throwback moment in the previous history of the tournament which saw Bianca Andreescu claim glory.
Andreescu claimed the BNP Paribas Open title also known as Indian Wells one year ago today; defeating Elina Svitolina and then Angelique Kerber in the final respectively.
It became a breakthrough couple of months for the young Canadian; as she went on to win the Rogers Cup defeating Serena Williams in the final despite the latter calling it a day due to injury.
Then defeated the American legend again but over the full match distance at the US Open as she truly established herself as a star of the sport.
Injury followed though with the 19-year old not playing since the WTA Finals in Shenzhen where she suffered a knee injury.
She would have hoped to be out again next month but the season has been delayed due to COVID-19 also known as the Coronavirus; which she will hope will give her more time to recover and come back stronger ahead of what will likely be a busy end to the year given all the cancellations.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
