‘I’m staying as positive as I can’ – Bianca Andreescu gives injury update after Fed Cup frustration
Bianca Andreescu has confirmed her knee injury does not require surgery as she prepares to make a return to action at the Fed Cup.
The US Open champion has endured a frustrating time since Flushing Meadows, with the injury also costing her a spot at the Australian Open last month.
She was not deemed ready for singles action at the Fed Cup on Friday, but has been nominated to play doubles over the weekend.
It seems that she is nearing fitness though, although she admits it’s tough be too certain about things for now.
âWell, I donât need surgery so I wouldnât say itâs very bad,â Andreescu said.
âI canât really say much about it. Iâm just trying to rehab as much as possible and stay as positive as I can.â
Canadian captain Heidi El Tabakh told reporters in Biel, where her team is playing Switzerland: âWith Biancaâs injury, we are just taking it day by day.
“Time was against us this time, but we werenât going to have her play singles unless she was 100 percent or close to 100 percent.
âSheâs not quite there yet, sheâs close. So we just donât want to take our chances and have a big setback.â
