Our very own Canadian tennis sensation, Bianca Andreescu was on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show last night, Sept. 9, to discuss her U.S. Open victory. The humble and talented 19-year-old has received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from high profile Canadians since beating Serena Williams on Saturday. When asked if there was anyone that hadn't congratulated her yet, she paused, said "Drizzy..." and trailed off, laughing. "Champagne Papi, I'm waiting for you. Don't @ me!" She joked. After receiving congrats messages from many of her fellow Canadians, #USOpen Champ @Bandreescu_ hopes for one from Drake #FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/Qkk3T2lyxS— Fallon Tonight (@FallonTonight) September 10, 2019 She was so humble and composed for the whole interview, and also projected an air of confidence that most of us would have struggled to find at such a young age.When asked how it feels, her response was so sweet. "Oh man, it feels so good. I made history in Canada, I'm truly blessed," said Andreescu. Fallon then proceeded to read from a long list of her accomplishments on-air, which were met with cheers from the audience. So far, she's heard from Justin Trudeau, Shania Twain, John Tory, The Raptors, The Leafs, Steve Nash, and others. Congratulations @Bandreescu_! 🇨🇦 You’ve made history and made a whole country very proud. #SheTheNorth https://t.co/W98v1lUN9o— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) September 7, 2019 You’re #1️⃣!!!
