The 19-year-old Mississauga, Ont., native broke records by becoming the first Canadian to ever win a grand slam tournament earlier this month at the US Open.
Andreescu was honoured at her own celebration rally Sunday where she was given a key to the city of Mississauga, and a less famous guest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was also in attendance.
Since her victory, Andreescu has had a street named after her in Mississauga, received numerous notable congratulations, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and was gifted an amazing customized WWE championship title.
It’s been a whirlwind eight days for the young star but she’s been humble, like a true Canadian, the whole time.
