Andreescu is turning heads in tennis world with her stunning run:
But the Mississauga, Ont., native didn't just appear out of nowhere. Few who've followed the Canadian doubted she'd get here but the surprise was that it happened at age 18 and at one of the WTA Tour's biggest events.She missed six months after two stress fractures in her foot in early 2016.
She took the time to heal it and with a solid effort during the fall season on the lower-level ITF Tour set the table for 2019. Andreescu had to learn her body to distinguish between normal muscle soreness she could battle through and real injuries that required attention. Being able to rob her opponents of rhythm with her changes of pace isn't unusual. But the Canadian's ability to combine that with power from the baseline to hit winners when the opportunities are created is fairly unique currently in women’s tennis.
At the Tevlin Challenger in Toronto last October, Labelle said he told Andreescu's parents “next year, she will take off.”Andreescu’s physical side also has evolved.
