2019 just keeps on getting better for Bianca Andreescu.

Following her big US Open win vs Serena Williams over the weekend, it has been announced that the 19-year old has soared to the no.5 ranking for the first time in her historic career

The Canadian teenager has essentially come out of nowhere in 2019. She has risen from 152nd in the world to begin the year to where she is now.

To put her dominance in perspective: she has posted a 38-4 record this year (just four losses!!!), and hasn’t lost a completed match since losing to Sofia Kenin in the semifinals in Acapulco, Mexico on March 1; over 190 days ago!

Her last official loss was when she was forced to pull out early due to a shoulder injury in a round-of-16 match against Anett Kontaveit on March 25.

She is also undefeated when she faces off against top-10 seeds (8-0), and has beaten the legendary Serena Williams TWICE in a span of a couple months.

To go a long with her first grand slam title after winning the 2019 US Open, she has also won the Rogers Cup (Canadian Open), and BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells Open).
