Bianca Andreescu left the court in a wheelchair on Monday night in Miami, forced to retire after suffering an injury to her lower left leg that was clearly agonizing.
On Tuesday, the Canadian has provided a hopeful update on her status, mentioning her foot rather than her ankle in a post on social media.
“Woke up with a brace on my foot… anyone know what happened?” Andreescu wrote. “On a serious note tho… that was the worst pain I’ve ever felt… praying for nothing serious. Still waiting on official results. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and kind words, doesn’t go unnoticed.”
The 2019 US Open champ was experiencing a bit of a resurgence, having played extremely well in defeat against Iga Swiatek at Indian Wells, and earning victories over Emma Raducanu, Maria Sakkari and Sofia Kenin at Miami before falling via retirement to Ekaterina Alexandrova.
We’ll just have to wait for the next update to find out when we’ll get to see the 22-year-old World No.31 continue her rise…
