Bianca Andreescu was expected to return to competitions last week on the occasion of the Fed Cup tie between Team Canada and Switzerland. The US Open champion was sidelined by a knee injury since last October and eventually she wasn’t able to defend the colors of her country. Later she had also to withdraw from Dubai.
Bianca released the following statement: “I’m very sad to announce that I won’t be able to compete in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships next week. I’m not at 100 per cent yet and following my team and doctor’s recommendation; I don’t want to take any risk to re-injure my knee.
Each day I get closer to being back to the court competing but Dubai is just too soon. I hope I can come and play in Dubai next year.”
Bianca is still scheduled to compete in Doha the week after Dubai.
