March 2019 Breakthrough of the Month: Bianca Andreescu
Was there any other option?
Bianca Andreescu burst onto the scene in March, and you picked her as the WTA Breakthrough of the Month.
The Canadian teenager announced herself in a big way during the Sunshine Swing, becoming the youngest player in over a decade to win the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and following that up with a fourth-round showing in Miami.
In all, Andreescu boasted a 10-match winning streak in the month, taking out a whole host of WTA stars, and soaring up the WTA rankings into the Top 40.
The teenager scored two notable victories over Angelique Kerber, including one from a break down in the third set in the final to win Indian Wells, Elina Svitolina, Wang Qiang, and Garbiñe Muguruza, among others, in her sizzling spring.
"It's been a crazy ride," Andreescu said after winning in the California desert.
"Truly a Cinderella story. Naomi did this last year. And now to be able to have my name in front of so many amazing champions is -- it means the world to me."
