Bianca Andreescu's vision progressed toward becoming reality in the California desert, where the Canadian 18-year-old's Cinderella raced to a first WTA title put her among the tip top of ladies' tennis.
"Insane," Andreescu herself called it, after coarse 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 triumph more than three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber made her the main trump card to win the lofty Indian Wells WTA title.
"Bianca Andreescu simply left a mark on the world. Congrats," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted not long after the milestone triumph.
Andreescu is the competition's most youthful champ since Serena Williams in 1999 and simply the fourth unseeded player to lift the trophy after Williams, a returning Kim Clijsters in 2005 and Japan's Naomi Osaka a year ago.
Reminded that Osaka's achievement 2018 win was quickly trailed by two Grand Slam titles and an ascent to No. 1 on the planet, Andreescu was inquired as to whether she found that motivational.
"No weight," she said with a grin.
"It's thoroughly fine," she said of the correlation. "It's certainly a motivation seeing her case the trophy a year ago and winning Grand Slams directly after that has been stunning to see. Yet, I would prefer truly not to concentrate on the future at this moment. I simply need to appreciate this minute since I would prefer not to underestimate anything.
"No one can really tell what the following week brings," included Andreescu, who currently heads to Florida for the Miami Open this week, where she will be unseeded.
Kerber, a previous world number one who had slipped to eighth in the rankings as she looked for a first title since she won Wimbledon a year ago, was up a break in the third set when Andreescu controlled through exhaustion and cramping to catch the triumph.
It's the sort of triumph Andreescu has envisioned previously, in her every day routine with regards to inventive representation which she uses to keep up her quiet and core interest.
In any case, when the minute touched base no doubt, she stated, it was "strange".
"I've observed every one of these players play on TV so often, so it's strange to almost certainly play against them before stunning groups at such esteemed competitions."
Taking note of that in March of 2018 she was contending in a lower-level International Tennis Federation 25K occasion in Japan, "battling a great deal with my tennis and with my body.
"It's insane, what a year can do," she said.
