Bianca Vanessa Andreescu (born June 16, 2000) is a Canadian tennis player. She reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 188 on April 17, 2017, as ranked by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), and a career-high combined junior ranking of No. 3 on February 1, 2016, as ranked by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Andreescu won the 2017 Australian Open junior doubles title with Carson Branstine.
Andreescu was born in Mississauga and is of Romanian descent. Her middle name—Vanessa—was inspired by actress and singer Vanessa Williams. She moved to her parents’ native country of Romania as a child and started playing tennis at age seven. Andreescu and her family moved back to Canada where she trained at the Ontario Racquet Club in Mississauga. When she was eleven years old, she joined Tennis Canada’s U14 National Training Centre in Toronto for the 2011–2012 season. At age 14, her favorite player was Romanian Simona Halep. Due to the time spent on court, Andreescu is completing her high school degree online.
In January, Andreescu won Les Petits As, one of the most prestigious 14 and under tournaments in the world. In July, she won her first junior titles, taking the singles title at the Grade 5 tournament in Havana, and the doubles title—partnered with Maria Tanasescu—at the Grade 4 tournament in Nassau the following week. She won her second and third junior singles titles in the fall at the Grade 5 tournament in Burlington and the Grade 4 tournament in Lexington. Andreescu ended her season with the under-16 title at the Orange Bowl with a straight sets win over Dominique Schaefer, becoming the fourth straight Canadian after Erin Routliffe, Gloria Liang and Charlotte Robillard-Millette to win that event.
