Stranger's note on plane brings Andreescu to tears

Bianca Andreescu was on an airplane when a stranger delivered her a note written on a napkin and quickly walked away. The message brought the 19-year-old Canadian to tears.

The note read:

Thank you. I have two young daughters. You have already inspired them both deeply. Neither are tennis players, but they both know what you have done. Because of you, they know that nothing is impossible if they want it enough. As a parent I am so grateful for the positive impact you have made on my kid’s life.

Thank you, and may your journey bring you as much joy as you have brought others.

A Canadian.

“I wish I knew who it was so I can say thank you,” Andreescu told Baseline.

Andreescu shared the touching letter on social media with a message of her own.

Thebest thing about what I do. It brought tears to my eyes because sometimes I don’t understand the impact that I’ve made, and continue to make in people’s lives. Receiving this makes me feel so fulfilled. I’ve always wanted to do good in this world somehow and have a positive impact on people’s lives. This isn’t where it ends though, I want to continue to do so much in bigger ways. I’m very grateful to have a platform in which I can achieve that. Thank you to the guy that wrote me this and to everyone who has sent me mail or message requests. I’m beyond grateful.

The US Open champion hasn't played since Beijing but just moved up the rankings to No. 4, making her the highest-ranked Canadian female in history.
