“I think it's just inside of me somehow. I think it's just my passion for the game,” Andreescu said of her secret to success. “I don't like to lose, so I just try my best every match. I expect a lot from myself, so I think that pressure also helps me do my best in matches.” “I think it helped me a lot with my coordination, as well. I think I have pretty good hand-eye coordination. But once I picked up the racquet, I forgot about everything else.”
“I remember actually when I was 16, after I won the Orange Bowl title, I remember I wrote myself a check of this tournament, winning the tournament obviously.”“When I'm down, I play my best tennis,” Andreescu said. “Whenever my back is against the wall, I think I'm just extra focused in those moments.”The victory lifted Andreescu to a career-best fifth in the world rankings, matching the best-ever mark by a Canadian woman set by Eugenie Bouchard in 2014.
