The 2019 US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu is coming to Paris with positive mindset and she's ready to show her best at the courts of the 2022 Roland Garros.
In the first round of the 2022 Roland Garros, Bianca Andreescu will take on world no. 170, Ysaline Bonaventure as the young Canadian will be a big favourite to win the match. However, when speaking about the favourites that could challenge the trophy in the French capital, she's not among the top names as she'll need to prove herself once again on the WTA Tour.
“I did some charity work which kind of brings me back to my main goal, which is to help others. I kind of want to just use my platform, which is tennis, to widen that variety. So being in that position really reminded me why I actually play the sport.”
“If I go into detail I'm going to cry, because it's like the saddest thing ever. There is this one lady who was basically running away from her husband that wanted to kill her, that kind of stuff. It's just absurd things. I can't believe any human being has to go through that.”
“I feel like I have been playing really well on clay, and I have been playing against some high-level athletes so I know kind of where my level is at, which is great. My change of rhythm I think works well because of the bounces on the clay. My kick serve I think is very effective."
“I still feel that there can always be an improvement in my game regarding shot selection, and I have been working a lot with Sven on that. And also, all other parts of my game. He tests me a lot, and he says that I have more tools in my toolbox than I actually think."
“I have been really showing that on court, and he's helping me bring that out of me. And that could be little things, like maybe even a short-slice crosscourt which I don't normally use. We are continuously working on stuff like that, or maybe serving and volleying, like little things like that that can for sure make a difference at the end of the day."
“I still feel that I'm young, but at the same time when I do see players like Coco Gauff, Emma Raducanu, Iga (Swiatek), she's younger than me, I feel like I'm getting older. So it's a good reality check to put me in my place, like, ‘Come on, your time is slowly running out’ which is good in a way."
“I'm still focusing on the process to get to where I want to get. I obviously have goals to crack the top 10 again and win other Grand Slams, more tournaments, I really want to focus on the process to get towards that, and it's been working really well."
