What was particularly striking though was the fact that Andreescu won in straight sets, which has become a sort of once-in-a-blue-moon event for her. The win over Davis was the 15th of the season for the former US Open champion, but only her fourth in straight sets.
In fact, the last time Andreescu won by such a margin was back in May - when she beat Maryna Zanevska at the Internationaux de Strasbourg.
Naturally, the Canadian was asked for her thoughts on her margin of victory during her post-match press conference. Bianca Andreescu responded by revealing she had received a flurry of text messages from people who were amazed that she won in straight sets.
Andreescu went on to claim that she finds tennis “super chaotic”, which is why she tries to avoid three-setters. But in the same breath, Andreescu added that she plays better if a match goes the distance.
When asked for her thoughts on her performance, Bianca Andreescu claimed she is “feeling very good” and that she is regaining her touch with each match. She did, however, stress that none of her matches have been easy, even if the scoreline may suggest so.
The 21-year-old further claimed she was “happy” with her serve as well as her on-court movement, given that those are the two aspects she has been working on the most.
“I’m hoping I can go all the way, just keep getting better as the tournament progresses” - Bianca Andreescu
During the presser, Bianca Andreescu was asked if she thought her body was responding well to training and the rigors of the tour in recent weeks. Andreescu, who has had her fair share of physical concerns over her career, replied that she started to feel better during the National Bank Open in Montreal.
The Canadian appointed Sven Groeneveld as her new coach after Wimbledon, and she revealed on Thursday that she had had a good period of training with him as well. She also stressed that she needs more matches under her belt so that all elements of her game can start clicking.
