Bianca Andreescu is one of the greatest exponents of women’s tennis in Canada. At the WTA Montreal, at home, she made her debut and did so with a defeat against Camila Giorgi 6-3, 6-2. She was seen with back pain and is a doubt for Cincinnati. After the game she attended the press conference.
The defeat against Giorgi
«Yes, he hits the ball very hard. She takes the ball very soon. She goes all out, and She acts like she’s the boss on the floor, and she has been tonight. Not me, unfortunately.”
The lesion that drags
“Last week, during my game in Washington, my back hurt. Sacroiliac joint pain, to be exact. It had happened to me before. In fact, I’ve had to deal with it many times. It got better for a few days, and then I started playing again, and then obviously I felt some irritation, but I did see some light at the end of the tunnel. But with sacroiliac joint pain, it’s very difficult because it’s nothing very serious, but if you push, you feel a lot of pain. That’s what I experienced one of the training days before the tournament. And then, you know, training and competing in a tournament is totally different. So obviously I felt it a bit more today and unfortunately it affected my performance«.
The open backwards serve of his rival that did him so much damage
“And, it was because my back hurt. And obviously I got frustrated, so she got into my head.”
His recovery and upcoming tournaments
“I’m going to talk to my team about it, but I definitely need to take a few days off. It’s just screwed up that the injury was during this tournament. Yeah, really fucked up. I don’t know if I’m going to play in Cincinnati. The goal is obviously the US Open«.
