Bianca Andreescu shared an important health update ahead of the 2025 season. The Canadian tennis star shared that she has been working with a high-performance specialist for the past few months and it has led to “amazing” results.
Andreescu has suffered from injuries since her breakthrough year in 2019. She has missed several tournaments due to multiple injury issues but following her comeback in 2024, the 24-year-old has played over 20 matches without any major concerns.
During the offseason, the former Canadian No. 1 has been putting in the work on-court. She posted a video on her Instagram Story showing off her workout and practice session. She captioned it:
“Been working with @phenom_doc [Dr. Cowan] for a few months now and I’m looking and feeling amazing! taking my health and performance to a new level.”
Dr. Cowan, according to his Instagram bio, is a nutrition and high-performance specialist. He has worked with NFL and UFC athletes. Before injury concerns marred Andreescu’s promising career, she had reached a career-high of World No. 4. The former US Open champion would be hoping to reach similar heights again.
“I’ve been very unlucky” – Bianca Andreescu revealed the plight she faced due to injuries in her career
In 2019, Bianca Andreescu won two WTA 1000 titles – the Indian Wells Open and the Canadian Open. Her impressive run continued as she managed to win the US Open title where she defeated Serena Williams in the final.
However, injury problems began soon after. Since 2019, she has faced injuries in her knee, ankle, leg, abdomen, and most recently, back.
In an interview with Match Point Canada earlier this year, Andreescu said:
“I totally don’t feel like my body is 23 years old because of all the injuries, I’ve been very unlucky. The universe likes to test us in different ways. The hardest test of my life is dealing with physical injuries, in addition to the mental health problems, which in a way go hand in hand. I don’t regret any of them, I have learned a lot about myself through the challenges I have had to face more than through the victories and happy times.”
After a back injury sidelined her from August 2023, Bianca Andreescu made her return to the tour at the French Open in 2024. She was a runner-up at the WTA 250 event in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, her second tournament of the year.
However, she struggled with consistency thereafter, failing to win more than two consecutive matches. She ended the season with an 11-10 record in singles, finishing ranked World No. 131.
