Canadian tennis player Bianca Andreescu has had a career beset by illnesses and disappointments since winning the US Open in 2019. She recently defeated Laura Pigossi 6-2, 6-1 on Tuesday, and is currently in the middle of Wimbledon qualifying.
Andreescu had to take a six-month break, including emergency appendectomy surgery, before he could resume professional tennis in February. The former world No. 4 spoke candidly about her reforms in recent interviews. She has stopped drinking, become interested in biohacking, and changed her nutrition.
“Oh, Bianca is making another comeback is not what I want the conversation to be about all the time. My top focus is taking care of my physical and mental well-being,” she stated. “I want to be more performance oriented, giving my best every day, and I don’t want to set any result goals.”
Andreescu is now putting her all into every game and making her opponent dread her. She also stated:
“We don’t want to f**k with Bianca because she is so focused,” may be the plot point. “I want them to be afraid to play me at every draw.”
Bianca Andreescu talks about her experience playing at Wimbledon and her friendship with a pal.
In 2024, Bianca Andreescu competed at Wimbledon and advanced to the third round prior to her six-month break.
During that same interview, she stated that she prefers to play on grass courts since it allows her to have a conversation partner.
Her words, “I definitely like the grass,” “I’m attempting to connect with my spirituality in that way, touching and talking to the grass, and I believe it’s generally beneficial. In a way, it’s a living thing. With this surface, I feel more confident in myself.
“Because you can never predict what you’ll get, I think of myself as one with the grass.”
Bianca Andreescu, who is now in 2025, has progressed in the qualifying round and will face Carson Branstine, another Canadian, on Wednesday. Branstine and Andreescu became friends quickly after meeting in junior high, when they were 13 years old.
Speaking ahead of the match, Andreescu discussed Branstine and how the cosmos was conspiring to pit them against one another.
“We’ve never engaged in a game together. We discussed this at’s-Hertogenbosch, and we said we would play in the upcoming weeks. Now you’re ready to go,” she added. “That’s exactly what the universe provided.
“She’s the funniest; our sense of humor is highly snarky and similar. We are the type of friends that seem to be unchanged when we eventually get together.
Before the fight, Branstine believes she is the underdog versus Bianca Andreescu.
