National Bank Open defending champion Bianca Andreescu got beaten by Ons Jabeur and the Canadian was very disappointed in herself.
Bianca Andreescu can't catch a break and despite winning the first set she still lost the match vs Jabeur. Midway through the 2nd set Andreescu slipped awkwardly and hurt her lower leg which caused her trouble throughout the match. By the end of it, she became a bit tired as well and all of that contributed to another loss.
After the match Andreescu said:
"I'm super disappointed in how I played, but at the same time, Ons played super well. I tried to play my best with what I had today. She was kind of disrupting my rhythm a little bit. The whole toe situation didn't help at all. I wish my serve was a bit better today. She definitely took advantage of that."
Andreescu has dealt with a lot of injuries this season as well as a positive COVID-19 diagnosis that derailed the bigger part of her season. She was forced to retire several times and despite hurting throughout the match she opted against doing it again:
"I'm sick and tired of retiring. For sure I could have, but I did not want to tonight. It's super bruised. It hurt on a lot of shots. I try not to show it. She also took advantage of that. She was just playing lights out in the third set. Didn't give me anything to really feed off of."
