Bianca Andreescu played her 2nd clay match in 2021 at the Internationaux de Strasbourg and it was once more a very impressive victory. She beat Maryna Zanevska with 6-1, 6-4.
Andreescu missed the Madrid Open and the Rome Masters after testing positive for coronavirus upon arrival in Spain. The Canadian was left with a choice to go to Paris without playing on clay or play in Strasbourg. Choosing the latter looks like a great choice by Andreescu who continued her dominant play today.
She faced off against Zanevska who is far away skill-wise from Andreescu and it was on full display today. Similar to her previous play Andreescu came out on fire dominating play from the start. The first set was won 6-1 with Andreescu only dropping 8 pts on serve.
The 2nd set was much more competitive and despite losing her serve twice Andreescu was still able to pull the win with 6-4. Considering it was her only 2nd match on clay in over two years it's a good result and Andreescu will hope to keep the momentum going.
She is the number one seed and winning a title on clay before the Grand Slam would boost her confidence heading into it. Her mindset is certainly on winning as many matches as she can.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
