The 2019 Bianca Andreescu tennis season officially began on December 31, 2018 with the start of the 2019 WTA Tour. She entered the season as No. 152 in the world. [4]
Andreescu started her season at the Auckland Open, where she qualified for the main draw after beating Kristína Kučová, Jaimee Fourlis and Laura Siegemund. In the main draw, she made it to the final after defeating four top-30 players, including two former World No. 1 players, Caroline Wozniacki and Venus Williams. [5] However, she lost to defending champion Julia Görges in three sets. [6]
In Melbourne, Andreescu successfully progressed through qualifying to enter the main draw. [7] She then beat Whitney Osuigwe before losing in the second round to Anastasija Sevastova in three sets. [8]
Andreescu played at the Newport Beach, where she was the sixth seed. [9] Having received a bye in the first round, she then won the next five matches and secured her first ever WTA 125K series title, which elevated herself to the World No. 68. [10]
In February, Andreescu played the Mexican Open, where she got to the semi-finals, losing to No. 5 seed Sofia Kenin in three sets. [11] Nevertheless, her ranking climbed to a career-high 60. [12]
This year's Indian Wells Premier Mandatory event proved to be her breakout event. By reaching the semi-finals, Andreescu became the third wild card to reach the semi-finals of the tournament, joining Grand Slam champions Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters. [13] She then defeated two then top-ten players, Elina Svitolina and Angelique Kerber, to win her first WTA title. [14] [15] The victory also promoted the 19-year-old rising star to a new-career high ranking of 24. [15]
Several days later, Andreescu drew Begu in the first round again in Miami. She managed to save a match point and eventually won the match to reach the second round. [16] In the second round, she avenged her Acapulco loss to Kenin to set up another meeting with Kerber. [17] She upset Kerber in three sets once again, but she had to retire against Anett Kontaveit due to a right shoulder injury, ending her 10-match winning streak. [18] [1]
After a three-month-long recovery, Andreescu returned to the tennis court at the French Open, as the 22nd seed. However, she retired before her second round match against Kenin. [19] She missed the entire grass-court season to recover from her shoulder injury. [2]
Andreescu came back two months later in her home tournament, the 2019 Rogers Cup in Toronto, where she made to her third WTA final after defeating two former top-ten players, Eugenie Bouchard and Daria Kasatkina, and two then top-ten players, Kiki Bertens and Karolína Plíšková, all in three sets. [20] In the semi-finals, she met Kenin for the third time this season, and successfully upset the American girl in two straight sets. [21] Her final rival was the 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams, but a tearful Williams retired when she was 1–3 down in the first set due to her own injury. [22] This gave Bianca her second WTA title, and a career-high ranking of 14. [23]
Two weeks later, she was seeded 15th in the US Open. She made it to the second week of a Grand Slam without losing a set. [24] In the fourth round, she outlasted local player Taylor Townsend to make her first quarter-final appearance in a Grand Slam. [25] After downing Elise Mertens in three tough sets, she upset Belinda Bencic in two sets to reach her first Grand Slam final, where she faced Serena Williams once again. [26] [27] Andreescu beat Serena in straight sets, becoming the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title, the first woman to win the US Open in her main draw debut (she previously lost in a qualifying round), and the first player born after 2000 to win a Grand Slam tournament. [28] With the 2,000 points she won from the Grand Slam, she made her top-five debut. [29]
Having rested for near a month, Andreescu returned to court in the China Open, the tournament she never played before. She upset Aliaksandra Sasnovich, Elise Mertens and Jennifer Brady to reach quarterfinals, where her opponent was the former World No. 1 players Naomi Osaka. [30] She eventually lost to the Japanese woman after three tough sets, ending her 17-match winning streak. [31] Nevertheless, Andreescu was still qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time in her career. [32]
At the Year-end Championships, Andreescu was divided into the purple group, alongside Karolína Plíšková, Simona Halep and defending champion Elina Svitolina. [33] The first round robin match against Halep marked the first-ever meeting between the two Romanian descendants. Despite having a match point, she was still edged by the 2019 Wimbledon Champion in three tough sets. [34] In the second match against World No. 2 Plíšková, Andreescu retired after losing the opening set when she injured her knee. [35] The injury ended her season a little bit earlier than expected as she withdrew from the tournament. [36] Sofia Kenin later replaced her to complete the match against Svitolina. [37]

Iga Świątek defeated Karolína Plíšková in the final, 6–0, 6–0 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2021 Italian Open. It was her first WTA 1000 singles title, and the 13 points Świątek lost in the championship match is the fewest on record in a WTA 1000-level final. This was the first WTA Tour singles final to be resolved with a 'double bagel' scoreline since Simona Halep defeated Anastasija Sevastova at the 2016 Bucharest Open, and was just the tenth such final in WTA Tour history. With the win, Świątek broke into the top 10 of the WTA rankings for the first time. Both finalists saved match points in prior rounds – Świątek saved two match points in her third round match against Barbora Krejčíková, whilst Plíšková saved three match points in her quarterfinal match against Jeļena Ostapenko.
Emma Raducanu defeated Leylah Fernandez in the final, 6–4, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2021 US Open. It was her first major title, and she became the first qualifier to win a major. Additionally, she became the first British woman to win a singles major since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships, and the second player to win the US Open on her debut after Bianca Andreescu in 2019. Aged 18, Raducanu became the youngest major champion since Maria Sharapova at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and with a ranking of world No. 150, the lowest-ranked player to win a major since Kim Clijsters at the 2009 US Open, and the youngest player to win the title since Serena Williams at the 1999 US Open. She also won the title without losing a set during the tournament, including during her three qualification matches, and was not taken to a tiebreaker in any set. This was her first WTA Tour singles title, making her the fourth woman in the Open Era to win a major as her first singles title.
