Bianca Andreescu’s run at the 2025 Canadian Open in Montreal came to a sudden halt after she was forced to withdraw from her second-round match against Mirra Andreeva. The injury occurred during her first-round victory over Barbora Krejcikova, where she rolled her ankle on match point. Despite finishing the match, Andreescu later revealed she had suffered torn ligaments in her left ankle.
Emotional reaction and frustration
Speaking to reporters, Andreescu expressed deep frustration over the incident. “It definitely sucks because this has happened before,” she said. “Honestly, I don’t have much to say. It’s really frustrating for me and my team. We’re doing the best we can to prevent these things, but it’s tough.” She admitted to feeling overwhelmed and even laughed at the situation, calling it “crazy” and “almost laughable” due to the recurring nature of her injuries.
Injury details and recovery outlook
Andreescu described the injury as a “freak accident,” noting that she had been doing daily proprioception and foot exercises. “Maybe it was emotions. Maybe I was a little bit tired. I just stepped in a weird way,” she explained. The Canadian star confirmed that the ligaments were partially torn and that her recovery would be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Her participation in upcoming tournaments, including Cincinnati and the US Open, remains uncertain.
She commented: “It’s kind of a day-to-day thing. I’m hoping to be ready for Cincinnati, but yeah, we don’t know. Can’t say… It was out of nowhere. Just happened. I mean, we work proprioception every single day. We do foot exercises, ankles. Yeah, we can’t really explain it. Maybe it was emotions. Maybe I was a little bit tired. I just stepped in a weird way. Yeah, we’re kind of just saying it was a freak accident. It’s all we can really say.”
Staying hopeful despite setbacks
Despite the disappointment, Andreescu remains hopeful about her return. “I’m taking it day by day,” she said. “I hope to be ready for Cincinnati, but we’ll see.” Her resilience continues to inspire fans, even as she navigates yet another challenging chapter in her career.
