Andreescu celebrated her win over Dart enthusiastically, urging the Montreal crowd to raise their voices.
Roddick explained how the Canadian’s reaction proved how much the win meant to her. He then went on to compare Andreescu to a “diesel engine,” pointing out how the Canadian, much like the machine, takes some time to find her groove.
