Bianca Andreescu: Injury, Comeback, Ranking & Career Facts

Few memories in tennis burn as bright as the 2019 US Open final, where a 19-year-old Canadian became the first Grand Slam champion born in the 2000s. Since then, Bianca Andreescu’s career has been a story of extreme highs and relentless injury battles.

Age: 25 · Highest ranking: World No. 4 · Grand Slam titles: 1 (2019 US Open) · WTA singles titles: 3 · Plays: Right-handed · Turned pro: 2017

Seven key career facts in one table — from her full name to prize money.

What has happened to Bianca Andreescu?

Injury timeline and missed tournaments

Andreescu burst onto the scene by winning the 2019 US Open (Grand Slam tournament) at age 19, becoming Canada’s first Slam champion since 2000. She reached world No. 4 later that year. But injuries derailed her momentum: a knee injury forced her to miss most of the 2020 season, and intermittent setbacks followed through 2021-2024.

The BBC reported in May 2026 that more than 2,300 days had elapsed since her US Open victory. Despite that gap, Andreescu returned to competition in early 2025 after nearly six months dedicated to her health, according to CBC Sports (Canadian public broadcaster).

Return to competition in 2025

Her comeback gained traction at the Italian Open in Rome, where she reached the fourth round — a run that lifted her ranking from outside the top 120 to around world No. 100. At the August 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal, Andreescu defeated two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 6-4 in the first round, surviving an ankle-roll scare at 5‑4 in the second set (National Bank Open (official WTA 1000 tournament)). She later withdrew from the tournament because of torn ligaments in her ankle, forfeiting a second-round match against world No. 5 Mirra Andreeva.

The implication: her talent remains undeniable, but her body has not cooperated for five years.

Why is Bianca Andreescu not playing in US Open?

Injury reasons for US Open absence

Andreescu missed the 2024 US Open because of injury, and the torn ankle ligaments suffered in Montreal cast her participation in the 2025 edition into doubt. She was listed on the 2025 US Open qualifying entry list, and the WTA reported she was “hopeful of competing in Cincinnati next month and would take recovery on a day-by‑day basis” (WTA Tennis (official tour website)).

Withdrawal history

Her path has been punctuated by withdrawals: she pulled out of the 2020 season after the Australian Open, missed the 2021 French Open, and has withdrawn from multiple events since. The exact nature of her latest ankle injury has not been fully disclosed, though Tennis.com (tennis news outlet) confirmed she tore ligaments in Montreal. The pattern: Andreescu often enters tournaments she cannot finish.

What this means: even when healthy, she rarely gets the scheduling stability that top seeds enjoy.

Bianca Andreescu ranking and career stats

Current WTA ranking

As of August 2025, Andreescu was ranked world No. 187 after her Montreal withdrawal (Tennis.com (tennis news outlet)). Her fourth-round appearance in Rome had pushed her to around No. 121, with projections of rising into the top 100 (CBC Sports (Canadian public broadcaster)).

Career-high ranking

Her best ranking remains world No. 4, achieved on October 21, 2019, after winning the US Open and Indian Wells.

Grand Slam performance

Andreescu has won one Grand Slam (2019 US Open) and has not advanced past the fourth round at any major since. Her best results afterward are round-of-16 finishes at the 2023 US Open and 2024 French Open.

Why this matters: her ranking has fallen so far that she now enters Slams through qualifying or wild cards, a massive shift from being a top-4 seed just five years ago.

She engages with fans regularly, sharing recovery milestones and expressing gratitude for support during injury layoffs. In 2025, she posted about her Rome run and her Montreal withdrawal.

Andreescu’s story is one of brilliance and fragility. For Canadian tennis fans and neutral observers alike, the question is not whether she can win again — she already has — but whether she can stay on court long enough to let her talent do the talking. For the player herself, the choice is clear: prioritize long-term durability over short-term wild-card gambits, or risk another cycle of flashes and withdrawals.
