Mississauga Tennis Player Bianca Andreescu to Face Serena Williams in Rogers Cup Finals
Published August 11, 2019 at 2:35 am
We’re in for one exciting conclusion to this year’s Rogers Cup.
Earlier today (Saturday, August 10), Mississauga tennis player Bianca Andreescu defeated Sofia Kenin in semi-finals, landing her in finals for the tournament (the first Canadian woman in 50 years to do so!).
Now, following the conclusion of the other semi-final match, Andreescu’s opponent is set to be none other than tennis champion Serena Williams.
Both players appear to be looking forward to the match, which is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 11.
