She won the US Open at 19… then came injuries, pressure, and doubt. But Bianca Andreescu is still fighting—with powerful resilience—to return to the top.
In this powerful episode of Tennis Insider Club, Bianca opens up like never before. She shares the emotional weight of early success, the loneliness of repeated setbacks, and the inner work she’s done to rediscover her purpose.

U could edited it so simple!
Bianca has lots of potential!
Invite Djokovic!
Kim please ❤
She’s the best, so proud of her ❤
Loved the interview but at 47:12 you made a very ignorant and racist comment. Not all people in Africa are poor and don’t have money. You shouldn’t judge people like that because it makes you look uneducated.
great talent and very charming woman! please don't give up!
Love Bianca! Get well soon! Hopefully she can come back and stay healthy long enough to win another slam. She’s too talented, she deserves another slam.
The comment at 47:09 is disgusting. Only watching for Bianca, will not be watching again.
u just quit….pls!..who support u?
BIBI "psycho-babble"……those who can….DO……those who can't……make excuses.
Where's her #1 fan man…………lanceb!!?? 🖤♠
I still believe my favourite athlete of all is the most talented in the WTA. If she can only shake off injuries and whatever demons she has to give us even one more season of tennis brilliance, I would be satisfied. Just one more major. When Bianca is on her game, for me she is definitely the most exciting player to watch since Monica Seles. C’mon Bianca!
The China Open on the 24th can’t come too soon. Bianca is on the player list. I hope it’s real.
Brooke Henderson, Alessia Cara, Bianca Andreescu. A triad of cool Canadian ladies, becoming a quartet with Summer McIntosh.
I must add I have wondered even if Bianca ceased having injuries, has the effect of all injuries experienced put a stop to her reaching her best game again. I don’t like to believe that. Imagine what she has thought about it all. We’ll see. She is a fighter and keeps coming back for more. Ce sera sera.
so authentic you are the best bibi
Really clever, sensitive, vocal woman.
Borja needs to listen more in order not to cut in the host's intervention.
Caro does her role in a slower and discreet way❤
Caroline Garcia is also a player I liked to watch play. It was good she spoke out about hurting comments from detractors when she did a while ago. Needless to say, they are not my favourite people.
