Bianca Andreescu suffers further fitness setback as knee injury forces her out of Dubai Duty Free – Tennishead

Bianca Andreescu has suffered more injury frustration after being forced to withdraw from the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The US Open champion has barely been seen since her win at Flushing Meadows in September, and her knee complaint kept her out of the Australian Open as well.

The signs had looked positive earlier this month when she was named in Canadas Fed Cup squad, even though she never actually got involved in singles action.

However, it appears there has been another set-back, forcing her to remain on the sidelines.

Im very sad to announce that I wont be able to compete in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships next week, Andreescu said.

Im not at 100 per cent yet and following my team and doctors recommendation, I dont want to take any risk to re-injure my knee.

Each day I get closer to being back to the court competing but Dubai is just too soon. I hope I can come and play in Dubai next year.

World number one Ashleigh Barty has also withdrawn from the event with a foot injury.

The line-up remains strong, though, with SImona Halep, Karolina Pliskova, Elina Svitolina, and Sofia Kenin all involved.
