Andreescu will not play in Madrid after testing positive for coronavirus

The 2021 season continues to bring bad news for Canadian Bianca Andreescu in the year of her return to the circuit after a 2020 marked by injuries. The number 6 of the WTA ranking will not be able to play from the end of this week at the Mutua Madrid Open after having tested positive for coronavirus.

This was stated by Andreescu herself through a message on her social networks. “Dear fans. After having tested negative twice before flying to Madrid, I have to inform you with sadness that upon my arrival I have tested positive for coronavirus and therefore I will not play at the Mutua Madrid Open at the end of this week. I feel fine, I am resting and following health and safety protocols. I hope to be back on the slopes very soon. “

Andreescu's absence in Madrid comes at a time when the Canadian was recovering her best form after a year in dry dock and where, Despite his initial setback at the Australian Open, he managed to reach the semifinals of the Phillip Island Trophy and the final of the WTA 1,000 in Miami, where he had to withdraw due to injury against Ashleigh Barty. Now Andreescu will have to wait to get back on the slopes in a return that is expected to take place in the tournament in Rome or already in the great event on clay, Roland Garros.
