Bianca Andreescu was dreaming about defending her title in Montreal, but she was stopped up by an inspired Ons Jabeur in the third round.
Unfortunately, Bianca was struggling with yet another injury during the match. The Canadian sensation had an issue with her toe to give the impression that she could not finish the match in the second set.
Eventually, Andreescu found her strengths, but she lost the encounter in the third set.
The injury
After the match, Bianca Andreescu seemed to be visibly disappointed by the result during the press conference. The good news is that her injury is not serious.
The Canadian player revealed:
“Like I’m healthy. Yeah, this whole toe situation is whatever, but at least like I didn’t sprain an ankle or anything like that. I just want to look at the positive. It’s really hard now ’cause I haven’t been playing much this year, haven’t been winning as much as I wanted to this year.
There’s just so many things that are happening that’s super sad.
I know that I’m going to bounce back.”
Bianca had the opportunity to become the new world number 4 if she conquered the tournament in Montreal. She will give it another shot next week in Cincinnati.
