BNP Paribas Open champion Bianca Andreescu is in demand following her title win in Indian Wells last month. She’s been everywhere from BMO Field to deliver the game ball for Toronto FC’s clash with New York City FC to Scotiabank Arena to take in the Raptors’ win over Orlando Magic court-side.
On Monday afternoon, the 18-year-old spent some time at Twitter’s Toronto HQ, meeting CEO Jack Dorsey and responding to fans’ questions as part of an insightful Q&A. Here are some highlights…

Where did she go for her all-important celebratory meal? And what does she think about her fellow Canadians’ success?
To actually accomplish what they’ve done is all them. They’ve put in the work, they’ve sacrificed a lot and dedicated themselves to the sport. Seeing other Canadians doing well is just another motivation and we’re all pushing ourselves to be the best that we can be. https://t.co/qRYmblQi0R
