Canadians embrace #SheTheNorth after Andreescu's win

NEW YORK - Canadians took to social media on Saturday to hail their first tennis Grand Slam champion Bianca Andreescu after the 19-year-old’s U.S. Open win over Serena Williams.

The hashtag #SheTheNorth shot to the top of Canada’s trending topics on Twitter, as social media users reimagined the “We the North” slogan used by the Toronto Raptors during their NBA championship-winning run. Toronto Mayor John Tory got the party started early as well, announcing on Twitter that the Toronto sign would be lit in gold to celebrate the win.

The 19-year-old also caught the eye of her home country’s high-profile athletes with fellow tennis player Genie Bouchard calling the victory “Canadian history”.

Wow

Reuters Andreescu RISE

She is Canada’s proud

The Queen is dead Long live the Queen 👑 Appears we have our next great champion for years to come Seriously, she was that good... Great tournament!

Concentrate on the winner of the game not the loser. Well done!

Before the win

We are the North.

As they should! Fantastic win. American whiners whine and make excuses. Better player won! End of story!

Good thing she emigrated to Canada. Trump probably wouldn't have let her into the U.S.
