The field for the 2023 Bad Homburg Open continues to grow in star power, with former World No.4 Bianca Andreescu the latest to join the fray.
The 2019 US Open champion, who finished runner-up to Caroline Garcia last year, will be hoping to go one step further at this year's edition. The Canadian will be joining World No.1 Iga Swiatek and German star Tatjana Maria, as the pair have already been announced for the event.
"I just wanted to announce that I'll be returning to the Bad Homburg Open," said Andreescu in a video released by the tournament. "I have such fond memories there and I'm very excited."
Andreescu suffered a grisly ankle injury a few weeks ago at the Miami Open, but has since been cleared to return to practice and hopes to be fit to compete at the event. The Bad Homburg Open will run from June 25-July 1, as participants prepare for the Wimbledon Championships.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
