Andreescu has become a parody of herself.
As I wrote in the Doha thread... it would be better to only mention the tournaments that she actually PLAYS. It would save time.

Either that, or we re-name this topic 'Bianca Andreescu Et Al...'.

That's the way to fly. Qatar Airlines 1st class. I have only flown business in their flights and it was one of those in which I was praying "please, just never land. Never!"
Good for her.

I'm glad it went well. Knee surgery is tricky though.

Agreed. And there was a match where she won, and then was darn near on the ground soon after where it presumable hurt to put weight on it. It didn't seem necessarily minor, so let's hope this "small" surgery was enough to fix things so it can heal properly.

Donna put up some stuff on her Stories today. She's basically taking her first steady steps right now, but those steps are aided. Think it's safe to say we won't see her before the clay court season.

Haven't seen a update from her, but Sofia Kenin looks to be doing very well with her recovery. She's been practicing at Evert Tennis Academy with other players, so all positive signs that she may even be ready for Miami.

He really ought to call it a career at this point. Playing tennis is great, but being able to walk to the grocery store pain free at age 50 is even more important.

I think we'll be saying the same about Andreescu soon enough...

Hope you are wrong but... we will see at Miami. We know by now that the loss at Australia was not that bad (Hsieh beat several good players so Bianca did not lose to a tail-less mouse) but in Miami she should make a couple of rounds.

Bianca has looked good from what she's posted. No strappings while practicing recently. To me, it's not about Miami. I mean, hopefully she'll play well and be happy with the results there and in Charleston. But I'm more wondering will she still be around in 2023 at the ripe old age of 22. I hope her body isn't breaking down so much that she'll just have to retire that kind of early. We shall she. But I don't see how she can keep with her current pattern of injuries and that not be what happens.

This is not a recent thing with Bianca - her body has been 'breaking down' since juniors.
It simply seems that her body cannot withstand the rigours of tennis. Perhaps her body would be fine with some other sports, but this has been going on long enough now to say that her body cannot withstand tennis.

She has just hired a 'miracle worker' fitness guy - obviously in the hope that he can change the pattern. But it's unlikely that he'll be able to overcome the forces of nature.
