The 22-year-old Canadian tennis player pleaded with an umpire on Monday (August 29) to make a change to her outfit during her first match at the 2022 U.S. Open.
Bianca was up against France’s Harmony Tan in the opening round, and the weather forced the athlete to make an urgent request.

Serena Williams is being critical of her US Open Women’s Finals loss on Saturday (September 7) in Queens, New York.
“I love [19-year-old winner of US Open Bianca Andreescu], I think she’s a great girl, but I think this is the worst match I’ve played all tournament. And it’s hard to know that you could do better,” Serena said in a press conference after the match. “It’s inexcusable for me to play at that level.”
She added that she’s having a hard time telling herself “‘you did okay’ because I don’t [think] I did.”
“I could have just been more Serena today. I honestly don’t think Serena showed up and I have to figure out how to get her to show up,” Serena added.
Serena Williams has had a wildly successful tennis career and she’s won 23 Grand Slam titles throughout her career. She has not won a Grand Slam (one of the four most important annual tennis events per year) since the Australian Open in 2017, when she was pregnant with her daughter Alexis Olympia.
After her Wimbledon loss in July, Serena was asked if she should stop focusing on social justice to focus on her tennis career and she had the perfect mic drop moment.

The 19-year-old Canadian tennis player defeated the legendary player Serena Williams in two sets, 6-3 and 7-5.
Bianca is the first Canadian tennis player to win a Grand Slam championship and she’s also the first woman born in the 2000s to win a major tournament. Another record that she holds is the first female player to win the U.S. Open in her debut!
The match started off strong for Bianca, but then Serena started making a comeback. Ultimately, she wasn’t able to pull off a victory and the young player won.
