Former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu, on Sunday, July 27, broke down in tears as she was visibly upset over an unfortunate injury after a tough victory over Barbora Krejcikova in the opening round of the Canadian Open. She lost in the qualifiers at Wimbledon and is desperately trying to make a comeback.

Andreescu, a former World No. 4, has been struggling with injuries over the last five years, missing the Australian Open because of a knee problem in 2020. She twisted her ankle at the 2023 Miami Open and had to be taken out in a wheelchair.

Andreescu had a nine-month break until her return at the French Open last year, was eliminated in the third round by Jasmine Paolini despite having beaten Anna Kalinskaya before and underwent an appendix surgery earlier this year, thus missing out on action for three more months.

Memories of the 2023 Miami would have come back when Andreescu twisted her ankle on Sunday. Watch the video here:

“At the end, I got very lucky. It’s very unfortunate. I don’t know what to say. You guys are everything, honestly, thank you so so much. These moments are never easy. So, I was super happy to be able to pull it through," Andreescu said in the post-match interview, with tears in her eyes. 

Last week, Canada won the Hopman Cup for the first time when Andreescu and Felix Auger-Aliassime teamed up to defeat Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti and Flavio Cobolli in Sunday’s final at Bari.

With Andreescu and Cobolli winning the two singles matches, the tie came down to the doubles, which the Canadians took 6-3, 6-3.
