After the WTA tournament in Madrid, Bianca Andreescu will also miss today's tournament in Rome. The Canadian announced on Instagram.
"Although I tested negative after my isolation time in Madrid and have been fully training for the last few days, due to the regulations of the Italian government, I am at risk of being quarantined again when I travel to Italy. Therefore, unfortunately, I have to Cancel the Italian Open this year, "wrote the sixth in the world rankings.
Andreescu had actually wanted to play in Madrid,but had tested positive for COVID-19 upon arrival and therefore had to pause.
Andreescu had previously been in the final in Miami, but had to give up against Ashleigh Barty there. In terms of health, however, she was fit again, she had declared as part of her Madrid cancellation.
Andreescu remains on comeback paths: In 2020 she did not play a single match due to an injury, she returned to the Australian Open in 2021 (there she lost in round 2) and then played another tournament in Melbourne (where she reached the semi-finals) .
