The fall that sent Bianca Andreescu into the next injury break in her match against Ekaterina Alexandrova in Miami was comparable to that of Alexander Zverev last year in Roland Garros. Now it is to be hoped for the Canadian that the damage in the ankle is not quite as bad as with Zverev. But: According to Andreescu, two ligaments are torn, making it difficult to state a possible time of return.
After all, the 2019 US Open winner has not lost her optimism. After all, Andreescu has already suffered from injuries and has always fought back. With the strong performance in Miami, where she defeated Emma Raducanu, Maria Sakkari and Sofia Kenin one after the other, Bianca Andreescu will again be among the top 30 professionals on the WTA Tour from next Monday.
However, that is secondary at the moment. Now it's time for the 22-year-old to get back on her feet. Literally.
