Bianca Andreescu is looking forward to the challenge at Roland Garros after training in Mallorca, Spain.
The Indian Wells champion hasn’t played a WTA match since retiring to Anett Kontaveit in Miami in March as she has been recovering from a shoulder injury.
However it seems the Canadian is raring to go ahead of the French Open next week after a couple of weeks of training at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca.
Speaking to the Rafa Nadal Academy, Andreescu has said she is looking forward to the French Open after improving her fitness, “It’s actually going really well, I’m progressing in my tennis day-by-day,” the Canadian said in Mallorca.
“This is a good period for me because I’m working on my fitness, which is very important for the clay season. So I’m really looking forward to what I can do at the French Open. Clay is one of my favourite surfaces, so I’m looking forward to one of my favourite slams.”
The 18 year-old will be the 22nd seed for Roland Garros as she looks to make a deep run in Paris. With her game of variety and unpredictability causing trouble on the American hard courts, you can only imagine how well it will translate on the clay.
As well as her preparation for Roland Garros, Andreescu also spoke about her time in Mallorca and why she likes going back to Spain, “The courts are incredible, the people are very nice and the food is good,” she said.
“Spain is my favourite country. I’ve been to Barcelona and Madrid and now Mallorca I got to visit, it’s been really nice.”
Now Andreescu looks for a week of training in Paris as she will find out who her first round opponent is on Thursday evening, when the draw is made.
