"We can bounce ideas off each other and start something" - Bianca Andreescu on Novak Djokovic

Bianca Andreescu is a massive fan of Novak Djokovic and she's starting to emulate some of the things he did in his career.

Ever since reading Djokovic's book Serve to Win, Andreescu has looked to Djokovic for inspiration. It comes after a bout with injuries for Andreescu that left her completely frustrated and seeking a break from tennis in the second part of last year.

The Canadian is not one to avoid the gym or work, so she turned to other professionals who could inspire her to try some new things. After reading the book, Andreescu opted to eliminate gluten from her diet and she's amazed by the effects it had on her body.

She also adopted some of the things Djokovic does to keep himself mentally sound which is a big part of why he's considered one of the mentally strongest players on the ATP Tour. She explained that in a recent interview.

For Andreescu, the mental struggle was very real. So much so that she needed time away from the sport she loves the most in order to reset properly and rediscover the fire needed for the grind that is everyday tennis.

She's feeling motivated and excited about the North American swing, but she is also committed to promoting mental health both in tennis and in Canada.
