Bianca Andreescu Returns to the Court in Rouen After Six-Month Hiatus
Hey everyone, big news this week for Canadian tennis fans—Bianca Andreescu is finally back! That’s right, after nearly six months away from the WTA Tour, she’s stepping back onto the court at the WTA 250 event in Rouen, France. It’s been a while since we’ve seen her in action, and honestly, this return couldn’t come at a more exciting time.
Her last match was all the way back in October 2024 in Tokyo, where she lost in straight sets to Katie Boulter. Since then, it’s been a tough road. She’s battled both injuries and illness, including a recent appendix surgery that delayed what was supposed to be an earlier comeback this year. Now ranked 130th in the world, Bianca has no ranking points to defend until the French Open, which gives her a golden opportunity to climb her way back up the rankings ladder.

She kicks off her comeback by facing world No. 69 Suzan Lamens in the first round. It’s their first-ever meeting, and while Lamens hasn’t had a standout season so far, she’s definitely a gritty competitor. Bianca may not be at peak form just yet—understandable after such a long layoff—but she still brings that signature flair and fight to the court that we all love her for. If she can get through this round, she’ll likely face No. 2 seed Linda Noskova or Bernarda Pera next. The draw opens up a bit after that, with potential semifinal matchups against Olga Danilovic or Moyuka Uchijima.
Meanwhile, the Canadian squad overall has had its ups and downs recently. Our Billie Jean King Cup team, featuring a young and revamped lineup, just missed out on advancing after a close tie against Japan in Tokyo. The squad fought hard but fell in a decisive doubles match. Still, it’s encouraging to see new talent like Victoria Mboko and Kayla Cross getting experience at that level.
Back to Bianca though—her return is more than just a match. It feels like a fresh start. The 2019 US Open champ has dealt with more setbacks than most athletes her age, but she always finds a way to come back. Whether she gets the win in Rouen or not, just seeing her name back in a main draw is a victory in itself. Canadian tennis fans will be watching closely, cheering her on, and hoping this marks the beginning of a strong and steady comeback season.
So here’s to Bianca Andreescu, back on clay, back in action, and hopefully back to climbing the ranks where she belongs. Let’s go!
