Bianca Andreescu in the ill-fated Miami Open 2021 final
The injury suffered by Andreescu was during the Miami Open 2021 final. The US Open champ was trailing a set behind as she stumbled and injured her ankle. She soon after withdrew from the final. As the Billie Jean King Cup is in full swing, Andreescu was going to be Canada’s top performer, but because of her injury, she couldn’t.
“I’m relieved to say that there is no serious injury, and with some rest and preparation, I will be back very soon. This does mean that, unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete in the Billie Jean Cup. I love representing Canada, so this decision was not easy, but I’m prepared for the clay-court swing ahead and for the rest of the season.”

“I really didn’t want to stop, but Abdul, my fitness trainer, basically saved me from myself because I’ve been through that, continuously pushing myself to the point where I’d make it worse,”
In a relatively short career, Bianca has had injury problems. Since famously beating Serena Williams in the US Open 2019 final, Bianca had disappeared in a thick cloud of injury troubles. Her knee injury at the end of 2019 saw her miss out on the whole of 2020.
Now the Canadian prodigy returned in 2021, to prove her might once again. Will Bianca Andreescu keep her injuries at bay and be the surprise package in the clay season?
