Canadians embrace SheTheNorth after Andreescu's win
NEW YORK - Canadians took to social media on Saturday to hail their first tennis Grand Slam champion Bianca Andreescu after the 19-year-old’s U.S. Open win over Serena Williams.
The hashtag #SheTheNorth shot to the top of Canada’s trending topics on Twitter, as social media users reimagined the “We the North” slogan used by the Toronto Raptors during their NBA championship-winning run. Toronto Mayor John Tory got the party started early as well, announcing on Twitter that the Toronto sign would be lit in gold to celebrate the win.
The 19-year-old also caught the eye of her home country’s high-profile athletes with fellow tennis player Genie Bouchard calling the victory “Canadian history”.
