Bianca Andreescu has captured the imagination of Canadian sports fans.
Andreescu’s early story was one of injuries so there was understandable apprehension with every new twinge. The stress fractures healed but every time she felt something in her foot, she worried.
So even if the back was a little sore during her first-round match at Indian Wells against Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu, she kept going. Even if her left calf, taped in previous matches, was close to cramping in Friday’s semifinal against No. 6 seed Elina Svitolina, she put it aside."It was a different match than against Muguruza or Wang — hitters who take the ball early, keep it deep," coach Sylvain Bruneau said Saturday. "Svitolina puts a lot of balls into play.
"We always told her with her tennis she’s going to change the women’s game a little," Labelle said. "We can make a specific gameplan depending on the opponent — and she can execute it.For two years, Andreescu regressed somewhat. She seemed content to hug the baseline and slug it out with opponents and play a more one-dimensional, typical style. Trouble was, she didn’t do that as well as others who spent their careers doing only that.
