Bianca Andreescu, Queen in the North: 'This is definitely not an overnight thing' - WTA Tennis

Wtatennis.com: You talked about the ups and downs that you’ve gone through with injuries. What did you tell yourself during those tough moments?
Andreescu: I'm a pretty optimistic person, and I really did believe that everything happens for a reason. So I tried not to look at it as a setback, but more as a challenge. And how I can become better as a person if I push myself through these tough moments. 

I know it's so easy to say, but it hasn't come easy. Obviously, I get upset really easily sometimes, and just knowing that I can get injured any second sucks. But I've learned through that. 

And it's just, when I do have these experiences, I do handle it better now because I've been through a lot. 

Wtatennis.com: Was there an upside to the time off? Anything that you got to enjoy while away from the tennis grind?
Andreescu: Yeah, I actually did. I went to a couple of concerts, and to a couple of sports games, like the Raptors. I went to a Toronto FC game. 

And just, I got to hang out with my friends? Just be a regular person? (Laughs) It was nice, I guess, that I was injured during the summer because all my friends are in college right now - so I guess that was kind of good timing? Out of all the bad, at least the timing was good!
