Bianca Andreescu grateful to be back in action so soon after harrowing ankle injury

Bianca Andreescu at the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open

Bianca Andreescu has stated that she is grateful to have returned to the court so quickly after her horrifying ankle injury at the 2023 Miami Open.

Andreescu rolled her ankle in her Round of 16 match against Ekaterina Alexandrova. The pain was so excruciating that she had to be wheeled off the court. She described it as the worst pain she had ever experienced.

After undergoing scans, it was discovered that she had torn two ligaments in her left ankle, and was later seen wearing a brace as she worked towards a full recovery.

The 22-year-old recently made a return to the court at the Madrid Open. The US Open champion only missed two clay tournaments during her hiatus - the Charleston Open and the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.

Although Andreescu did not achieve the desired outcome in Madrid, where she suffered a 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-2 defeat against Wang Xiyu, the 22-year-old tennis star remained optimistic. She viewed the opportunity to compete at the highest level so soon after her injury as a "blessing".

After her defeat in Madrid, she is eagerly looking forward to competing in the Italian Open in Rome, which she jokingly referred to as a "pizza and pasta town".

"What a blessing to be able to be back competing so soon. 2 days ago was even a question mark but was almost 3 hours on court and ankle held up. Pizza and pasta town next!! Onwards and upwards 😄," Andreescu tweeted.
