Andreescu to skip Open

Canada’s Bianca Andreescu will not play in the Australian Open next month following a challenging spell brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, the former US Open champion said on Monday. Andreescu, 21, said time isolating in quarantined hotels took a toll on her mentally and physically and she did not feel like herself while training and playing matches. “I felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders,” Andreescu, who also said her grandmother spent weeks in ICU due to COVID, wrote on Twitter. “I could not detach myself from everything that was going on off the court; was feeling the collective sadness and turmoil around and it took a toll on me.”
