On Thursday (AEDT), Andreescu gave an update on social media.

“Results show that I’ve torn 2 ligaments in my left ankle,” she tweeted.

“It’s tough to say exactly how long it will take, but let’s just say it could’ve been much worse!!

“I’m going to take it day by day, and I am optimistic that with the right work, rehab, and preparation, I’ll be back on court soon. Rehab process has already started and will continue to give updates. Love you all.”

Andreescu’s latest injury continues an unfortunate run of nasty injuries throughout career thus far.

In 2021 she retired from the final in Miami after suffering a right ankle injury against Ash Barty.

The 22-year-old, who won the US Open in 2019 but then missed all of 2020 due to injury, returned to the circuit last April after a six-month break.

In Miami she had looked very much back to her best with wins over Emma Raducanu, Maria Sakkari and Sofia Kenin before the fourth round match.
