World number 31 Andreescu retired from her
fourth-round match against Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova in
Miami on Monday and left the court in a wheelchair after
screaming in pain having fallen while moving across the
baseline.
The 22-year-old Canadian, who reached a career-high fourth in
the rankings in 2019 but has suffered with a number of injuries,
said the rehabilitation process has already begun.
"It's tough to say exactly how long it will take, but let's just
say it could've been much worse !!" Andreescu wrote on Twitter.
"I'm going to take it day by day, and I am optimistic that with
the right work, rehab, and preparation, I'll be back on court
soon."
Andreescu, who retired with a shoulder injury during her
semi-final match at the Thailand Open in February, is still
looking for her first title since the 2019 U.S. Open.
