Andreescu watches the ball as she prepares her serve

Bianca Andreescu updated her fans on her health status as she gets ready for the 2025 season. The 2019 US Open champion faced injuries again this year that prevented her from showing her best level. Despite some notable victories, the few tournaments she played left her ranked World No. 131 in the year-end ranking.

The former World No. 4 has been working with a ‘high-performance specialist’ in recent months to overcome the injuries. The 24-year-old player still hopes to demonstrate the level that made her one of the biggest surprises to win a Grand Slam title.

Andreescu’s journey back to her best form ahead of 2025 season

Andreescu has struggled particularly with back and wrist issues, which have led to several surgeries over the years. During her off-season, the Canadian shared a video on Instagram showcasing her training and practice session. "Been working with @phenom_doc [Dr. Cowan] for a few months now and I'm looking and feeling amazing! taking my health and performance to a new level."

Dr. Cowan has worked with major athletes from the NFL and UFC, helping them recover from injuries. Even as a player with many years ahead in her career—indeed, 34 of the top 50 ranked players are older than Andreescu.

Earlier this year, Andreescu shared in an interview with Match Point Canada about her struggles with injuries. "I totally don't feel like my body is 23 years old because of all the injuries, I've been very unlucky,” she said.

“The universe likes to test us in different ways. The hardest test of my life is dealing with physical injuries, in addition to the mental health problems, which in a way go hand in hand. I don't regret any of them, I have learned a lot about myself through the challenges I have had to face more than through the victories and happy times."
