Bianca Andreescu had to withdraw from WTA Finals in Shenzhen to end what has been a breakout season for the Canadian teenager and she spoke of her disappointment afterwards.

Andreescu said that while she is disappointed, it makes her even more motivated to play there in the future.

In terms of future plans, the US Open champion said that she will likely take some time off to be with her family and friends and then start her pre-season to be even stronger for next year.

“I had a scan Thursday to check my knee after last night’s match and unfortunately the results show that I need to withdraw,” said Andreescu.

“It was amazing to play here in Shenzhen at the end of this incredible season. I’m very disappointed to not be able to finish the year on my terms, but I am hopeful I will have more chances to play here in the future.”

"It's really nice to be among the best women athletes in the sport," she said. "It's an incredible event. I think it's one of the best events of the season really.

"I think it definitely gives me a lot of motivation to work hard for next year so I can come back. Now I'm going to take time off, be with my family, with my friends, recover, then start my pre-season. I'll become even stronger for 2020."
