Following the conclusion of Miami Masters, the action now shifts to clay. The tournaments in Houston, Marrakech, and Charleston on clay are underway this week. While players like Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek are set to miss the beginning of the clay season, Bianca Andreescu is eyeing her much-awaited return on the tour on clay.

Bianca missed much of tennis due to injuries and some personal issues. But now she is ready to make a comeback on the tour.

Bianca Andreescu to return at the Stuttgart Open

The young Canadian received a wildcard and will feature at the Stuttgart Open that begins on April 16 in Germany.

In her nascent career so far, the 21-year-old Canadian never had a full season without an injury or issue forcing her to pull out of the tournaments.  The 2019 US Open champion missed Miami Open this year after she had to retire mid-match in the final against Ash Barty in 2021.
