Canadian specialty sleep retailer, Sleep Country, has signed up Bianca Andreescu as its ambassador. Sleep Country is an omnichannel retailer that has both retail locations and e-commerce platforms to sell mattresses, beds, furniture, and pillows.

Sleep Country was founded in 1994 by Christine Magee, Stephen Gunn, and Gordon Lownds in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company has since grown to over 265 stores across Canada.

Sleep is such a key part of my health and wellness which translates to my success on the court. Whether it’s giving my body rest to recover from a match or keeping my mind sharp and focused in the moment – sleep allows me to stay at the top of my game.

Sleep Country and I wholeheartedly believe that sleep is the catalyst for optimal performance and for living a healthier and happier life. I look forward to partnering with Sleep Country to inspire Canadians to harness the power of sleep.

Sleep Country also released a few ads featuring Andreescu.

In 2019, Bianca Andreescu became the first Canadian to win a grand slam singles title. Andreescu’s parents, Nicu and Maria Andreescu, emigrated from Romania to Canada.  Andreescu uses both power and variety in her shots to dominate her opponents.

Henri Laaksonen is a Swiss-Finnish tennis player who has been representing Switzerland since 2011. He previously represented Finland. His mother is from Finland and his father, Sandro Della Piana, is a former Swiss tennis player.

His switch to representing Switzerland was motivated by the funding provided by the Swiss Tennis Federation. Despite many years of Swiss funding towards his tennis, Laaksonen has not produced great results on the court. He has been warned and fined multiple times by the Swiss Tennis Federation for various discipline-related violations.

Laaksonen’s poor approach to tennis led fellow Swiss tennis player Stan Wawrinka to say that he “never wants to be on a tennis court with him again”
