The Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu gave a positive update on her return to the WTA circuit. The 21-year-old has been out of action for nearly six months now after a series of injuries and illness issues. She is expected to participate in Stuttgart Open.

This will add to the joy of tennis fans as they are expecting yet another Canadian athlete – Eugenie Bouchard to return to competitive tennis. Bouchard was active on her social media and updated her fans about her possible return in April.

Bianca Andreescu and Eugenie Bouchard facing injury issues

2019 US Open Champion Bianca was in great form and was in the top 5 in the rankings in just the 3rd year of her professional career. She had a horrific knee injury that forced her to sit out for nearly a year. And the return was not as strong as expected.

After missing out on the complete 2020 season, Bianca Andreescu managed to reach last seasons’ Miami Open final but then retired mid-match against Ashleigh Barty.
