A former US Open champion has not started her season yet, and her stint on the sidelines is set to continue.

Canada’s Bianca Andreescu shocked the world as she beat Serena Williams to demand the title of Flushing Meadows back in 2019.

But the 24-year-old has been destroyed by an injury ever since, and she has not ended a whole season since.

Andreescu did not start his 2025 season in January, and fans do not expect to see her back on the field for some time to come.
