She Made History

   I've said many times I'm not what you'd call a "sports" guy. True, I'll watch the odd event, and such was the case Saturday in the women's final of the U.S Open Tennis Tournament. And there was just one reason:

   Bianca Andreescu, a 19 year old from Ontario, who was in the final against one of the most celebrated women's players of all time, Serena Williams. And Bianca won. In straight sets, no less, 6-4 and 7-5.
   How tough was the 2nd set? Williams was down 5-1 at one point but, in true fashion, stormed back to tie the set at 5-5. Andreescu won the next 2 games, and the championship. How tough was the 2nd set for Bianca? The crowd at Arthur Ashe stadium was, of course, partisan for Williams, and Andreescu had to plug her ears a couple of times to try and drown out the noise. And she apologized for winning, saying "I know you guys wanted Serena to win, so I'm so sorry".
   Andreescu is the first Canadian woman to win the U.S Open title and, as you'll all know, she wasn't even alive when Williams won her 1st title. Congratulations Bianca!
