Bianca Andreescu

I didn't expect all of this success to come so quickly.

Seeing a lot of the younger players doing well gives me inspiration.

I've learned that I can be calm during important points.

I think I have good hands, so I try to use them to my advantage.

I want to change the sport for the better. I want to do a lot for women's tennis.

I believe in myself, because I believe anything is possible.

Everyone knows how to play tennis, but it's the mind that really controls everything.

There are ups and downs; that's part of tennis. But I'm up for the challenge.

I can remember watching other Canadians make their big breakouts and saying, 'Hey Mom, when is it going to happen for me?'

I'm an only child, and I don't mind being alone.

I'm a very independent person.

My goal is always to qualify, maybe get a couple rounds in, but now I've beaten a couple top players.

Now that I am gaining more and more experience and getting more and more confident playing against these top-level players, I am definitely not starstruck anymore.

The only pressure, I think, is the pressure I put on myself.

I guess Auckland just brings the best out of me.

My victory against Venus was the most special. She's is a multi grand slam champion; her sister is Serena Williams. I was like, 'What is going on?' I broke her five times in a row. She is one of the best servers in the game.

I got a message from a little girl just saying that she's starting to play tennis because of me. That was pretty amazing.

I think I'm getting more and more experience playing on big stages, and I think that's going to help me with everything.

I'm getting a lot of followers, especially from politicians, which really amazed me. It's really an honour - I'm really grateful for everyone's support.

It's nice to let some anger out sometimes.

I was playing 25Ks in Japan, and now I'm the... champion of Indian Wells. It's crazy.

When I meditate, I visualize myself after the match as the winner.

I learned how much determination I have and that no matter what the score is, anyone can come back.

Win or lose, I always learn something.

Venus is a walking, living, breathing legend.
