“Bianca skipped the 2026 Australian Open for a gradual return to the Tourβ, β write: sport.ua
On the way to the trophy, Bianca lost just one set and passed: Malkia Ngunue (USA), Tatiana Peri (Italy, WTA 350), Ella McDonald (Great Britain, WTA 527), Li Ma (USA, WTA 342) and Vivian Wolff (USA, WTA 330).
For Andreescu, this trophy was the first after the US Open title in 2019. Bianca missed the first major of the season – Australian Open 2026 – to smoothly return to the Tour and gain physical form.
Andreescu has had back problems for a long time, and at the end of July 2025, she sprained her ankle at a tournament in Montreal. After the Canadian thousand, Bianca played five matches until the end of 2025 and suffered four defeats.
