“It’s all how I look at it. Like it’s the perspective of the why me mentality that kind of brought me to that point, because tennis is so beautiful,” said Andreescu. “It’s brought me so much it’s such a privilege to play the sport and be a professional athlete. I know it’s not all glamorous.”
In more recent times it has been a back injury that has kept Andreescu on the sidelines, keeping the No.228 out of action for nearly 10 months until Roland Garros.It was at the Paris major where Andreescu beat Sara Sorribes Tormo and 23rd seed Anna Kalinskaya to match her best ever result at the tournament, before succumbing to a third round loss to eventual finalist Jasmine Paolini.
After achieving this result, Andreescu spoke about her newfound hope in life and the sport, “10 months ago I had no idea when I would be able to compete again. To be back so soon with what I dealt with is a dream!!! I finally feel something I haven’t felt in a long time… hope.”More Tennis News
