Canadian World No.7 Bianca Andreescu is one of the most promising young talents in tennis. However, injuries and setbacks have slowed down her career surge in the WTA. Slowly but surely, she is now building her A-game on tennis courts again.

Presently, the 20-year-old Canadian is contesting at Internationaux de Strasbourg in France. It is her first clay-court tournament appearance after the 2019 Roland-Garros.

Before this, Bianca missed the Madrid Masters and the Italian Open due to being positive for the coronavirus. But impressively, she won her opening match at WTA Strasbourg as if she had never been away from the clay. The Canadian defeated Spaniard Andrea Lazaro Garcia 6-1, 6-2.

Surprising his mother, Adyn was enjoying Andreescu back in action. He even started talking a bit, making Townsend emotional.

Hence, the American professional shared their picture on her Instagram story. “You got him captivated. You got my man talking,” Townsend wrote to Andreescu.

Unquestionably, it is good news for Canadian tennis fans to see the 2019 Rogers Cup champion up and running again. Her last prominent stride on the WTA Tour came at the Miami Masters, where she withdrew in the final against Ashleigh Barty due to a foot injury.
