Bianca Andreescu lost against Anett Kontaveit at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells which ended her title defence pursuit in the desert.
Heading into the match Andreescu never lost a match in the desert having won the event the only she played it in 2019. The Canadian struggled tremendously against Kontaveit ultimately losing in two sets. After the match, Andreescu expressed regret about the result saying:
“I think today I didn’t play my best. I didn’t feel my best. But, I have to deal
with what I had. It obviously wasn’t enough, The conditions were
a bit tough as well with the with and with the sun. Anett [Kontaveit], I
honestly don’t think she played her best tennis either. But, you know,
she was the better player today.”

It was the 3rd time Andreescu lost to Kontaveit in her career and the defeat left Andreescu filled with many different mixed emotions as the 2021 season will end up as a major disappointment. After this event, Andreescu will find herself out of the top 20 with several disappointing outings during the year. She did not offer much insight into her thoughts simply saying:
“My mind’s all over the place with many different thoughts and opinions."
It's back to the drawing board for Andreescu who did not specify where she will play next if at all anymore in 2021.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
