Bianca Andreescu played her first competitive match after 15 months in Melbourne in February, but after failing to deliver significant results, she aims for glory in Miami.

At the 2021 Miami Open Bianca Andreescu is the eight-seeded player and therefore she avoided the struggle of playing the first-round match. In the second round, the Canadian defeated Czech Tereza Martincova 7-6, 6-2 and reached the next round.

In the third-round, she will face Amanda Anisimova who is also not showing her best tennis. However, following her second-round victory, Andreescu saw many positives and she spoke about them.

"I felt really good mentally out there. That's the one thing I feel like I was struggling a little bit in Australia, but I was just super positive and I fought for every ball no matter what the score was," Andreescu said after the match.

"In the first set she had set point, but I just kept fighting, and I think that was the thing I was most proud of. I felt that in the first set I wasn't as consistent as in the second set, but I think that tiebreaker really said a lot, because I started putting more pressure. I was getting to a lot of balls.

"In the second set, you could tell that she became a little discouraged, and she started going for more shots. But that's part of my game style. I want to be very physical out there. I don't want to let any ball go and just never give up. I think that says a lot today in the match, and it showed."
