TORONTO — The honours just keep rolling in for Bianca Andreescu.

One day after her hometown of Mississauga, Ont., staged a #SheTheNorth rally for the 2019 U.S. Open women’s singles champion, neighbouring Toronto proclaimed Monday as “Bianca Andreescu Day.”

“To congratulate her on her amazing accomplishments at the #USOpen, and to thank her for being an inspiration to young athletes across the city, I’m pleased to proclaim today as Bianca Andreescu Day in the @CityofToronto,” Toronto Mayor John Tory tweeted.

In his official letter, Tory wrote “Bianca has won the hearts of millions of Torontonians.”

The 19-year-old Andreescu, Canada’s first Grand Slam singles champion, was scheduled to travel to Montreal on Monday for an open practice on centre court at IGA Stadium.
