At Bianca Andreescu, the signs are still not entirely on exclusive tennis preparation: the ruling US Open winner used a short training break to meet with what is generally considered to be the greatest athlete in her country - Wayne Gretzky. As befits retired legends, on a golf course.
Things get serious for the 19-year-old in Auckland, where she was defeated by Julia Görges last year as a qualifier. Her coach Sylvain Bruneau doesn't even know how good Andreescu's shape will be by then. “She'll be playing in Auckland, but she won't be playing until the next few days. So we are lagging a bit behind our normal pace. We will not speed up the preparation for Auckland. We'll see how it goes. If we need more training, maybe we will skip Auckland and prepare properly for the Australian Open. ”
Andreescu plays at Olympia
In any case, the shows for Canada are on schedule. "Bianca is a super-patriotic athlete," Bruneau said. “She is completely determined to compete in the Fed Cup and the Olympic Games. She told me that on the first day we met. She has the Canadian flag tattooed over her heart. "
