Bianca Andreescu, former US Open champion and one of the most inspiring players on the WTA Tour, has revealed how she has rekindled her passion for tennis. Speaking to The Players’ Tribune, Andreescu shared how thinking about her family and the challenges faced by others has transformed her outlook on the game.

“Thinking about my family makes me want to give every breath I have on court. When you play for others — for family, for country, and for everyone who has been through something — tennis becomes not like a game. It becomes your most important mission on earth,” Andreescu reflected.

The Canadian emphasized that her purpose on the court has evolved beyond individual success. “I’m not just playing for myself, I’m playing to inspire. Even if I lose, let’s say, if I give my best then I’m still winning, because people can see my faith and perseverance. And maybe they can feel their own version of that.”

This renewed perspective has fueled her recent performances, as she strives to leave a meaningful legacy both on and off the court. Andreescu’s profound realization about faith and perseverance highlights her mission to use tennis as a platform for inspiration and empowerment.

Her words serve as a reminder of the deeper connections that can arise through sport and the powerful role it plays in bringing people together.
