Mississauga’s Bianca Andreescu off to a strong start at the 2022 German Open

The 2022 WTA German Open is in full swing (no pun intended), and Mississauga tennis star Bianca Andreescu has come ready to play.

Andreescu defeated her first opponent today, Czech’s Kateřina Siniaková, in a tight three-set match: 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

“Andreescu had won only one tour-level grass-court match in her career coming into Monday’s first-rounder, but the 2019 US Open champion was able to double her grass-court match-win total with a 2-hour and 16-minute triumph over Siniakova,” the WTA reports.

Andreescu said she was playing the right tactics, but on grass one point can change the whole match, so she had to really stay focused.

“She played great tennis, but I’m happy to get through,” said the pro tennis athlete from Mississauga.

Her next match on Wednesday (June 15th) will be against Karolína Plíšková, a top tennis player also from Czech and the 4th seed at the tournament.

The 2022 WTA German Open kicked off today and will go until Sunday (June 13-19) at the Rot-Weiss Tennis Club in Berlin, Germany. It’s the 95th edition of the event on the 2022 WTA Tour.

Good luck, Bianca!
