Bianca Andreescu's Comeback Postponed: A Journey Through Injury and Recovery

Bianca Andreescu delays her tennis comeback after emergency appendectomy, aiming for a strong return in the clay-court season.

Bianca Andreescu, the celebrated 2019 US Open champion, has announced a delay in her 2025 season start following an unexpected health setback. The Canadian tennis star underwent an emergency appendectomy after experiencing severe abdominal pain, a turn of events that has rescheduled her anticipated return to the courts.

In a heartfelt update via an Instagram story post, Andreescu shared, "I unexpectedly started experiencing some sharp pain in my stomach, which led to an emergency appendectomy. The surgery went smoothly, and I'm on the road to recovery. My plan is to be back on the court for the clay season, stronger than ever."

This incident marks another chapter in Andreescu's challenging journey with injuries. Over the past few years, she has faced several health issues, including a significant back injury that sidelined her for nine months until her return in May 2024. Her last appearance was at the Pan Pacific Open in October, where she showcased her resilience and skill despite ongoing health concerns.

The tennis community eagerly awaits her return, especially the clay-court season, which could be a pivotal moment in her career. Fans and critics alike are hopeful that Andreescu will overcome these hurdles and return to her former glory, bringing her unique flair and undeniable talent back to the tennis world.
