Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu has recorded the biggest upset of 2019, stunning Australian Open champion and third-ranked Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-4 at the ASB Classic on Thursday in New Zealand.
Andreescu, 18, is ranked 152nd in the world.
After smashing a forehand to finish the match, Andreescu kneeled and placed her hands over head as the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
"Honestly, I can't believe it right now. I've dreamed of playing on this stage against top players and now I'm here," Andreescu said on court after the match.
"I've had a couple of back issues the past couple of months. I just fought until the end."
Incredible performance from @Bandreescu_ !
