Injury-plagued Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu opened up on coming into Wimbledon without a coach.

Andreescu crashed out of All England in the opening round on Wednesday after losing to in-form Frenchwoman Alize Cornet.

Speaking to reporters after her 6-2, 6-1 loss, the Canadian said she will soon sit with her team and figure out a way to link up with a new coach at the earliest.

She added that the loss at All England has taught her harsh lesson on how it wasn?t ideal to be coming into a Grand Slam without a full-time coach.

“Going to have a good talk with my team”: Bianca Andreescu

?Definitely going to have a good talk with my team tonight to figure a lot of stuff out. At least I know now, I guess, how it is to not have a coach a little bit. But, yeah, I will figure that out soon,? Andreescu said.

The Canadian split with longtime coach Sylvain Bruneau after she was sent packing in the opening round at Roland-Garros by Slovenian Tamara Zidansek.

It was seen a shake-up in personnel in the wake of a continuing poor run since her run to the Miami final this year.

Bruneau had worked with her for four years and coached her to a breakthrough 2019 season when she won three titles, including the US Open.

However, it was towards the end of 2019 that she was laid low by spate of injuries and had to eventually take a year out of Tour for rest and recovery.
