World number seven Bianca Andreescu, who recently made a comeback at the WTA Strasbourg Open, has reached the quarter-finals by defeating Maryna Zanevska in straight sets 6-1,6-4.
The Canadian looked comfortable on-court in the first two matches at Strasbourg after having to withdraw from the Italian Open due to the COVID-19 bubble restrictions.

Bianca Andreescu withdraws from WTA Strasbourg Open due to abdominal tear
Just when she appeared to have found her game before the French Open, Andreescu announced in her post match press-conference about the decision to withdraw from Internationaux de Strasbourg due to a small abdominal tear.
Bianca Andreescu is withdrawing from the @WTA_Strasbourg due to a discomfort/slight abdominal tear she reveals just now in press. More precautionary she says with @rolandgarros looming.

The Canadian also announced that it was just a precautionary measure as she didn’t want to take risks heading into Roland Garros. Andreescu didn’t play much tennis since 2020. Immediately after her astonishing victory over Serena Williams in the 2019 US Open finals, the Canadian withdrew from the WTA finals citing a knee injury.
At the on-going Strasbourg Open, Andreescu made a strong statement by thrashing Andrea Lazaro Garcia in the first round. This tournament became significant for the Canadian as it would be a perfect practice before the French Open starts.
