Good to see Bianca taking care of herself and taking her breaks when needed. Glad she fell back in love with tennis. May she continue to figure out what works best for her mentally, physically and spiritually.

Your greatest strength is your mind set, i see a natural born fighter, with high mental stamina, thats something that you can't really teach. I love watching your game, especially when you begin to study your opponent and star mixing up your game. Your a natural, hurry back, heal and know you have alot of support.

Bianca is such a sweetheart, she will always have my support. Seeing that she's practicing Yoga gives me hope 🥰

[Jes]

[gregsj]

Life is tough. Take care of yourself always. You are courageously on the rise!

What Bianca said at 0:17 is the reason many athletes experience burn-out.

i really love how her mother responds to bianca saying she used to be skinny by saying she didn't have a lot of muscles and that now she looks like an athlete. this is the correct and healthy perspective to instil in your child and its so important as a mother to not feed the negative self-talk their daughters have (altho i cannot be certain bianca was saying it to be negative). all mothers should be like this

I wonder what it is about tennis today that sees so many young players decide to take a 'mental break' and move away from the tour. Osaka, Andreescu and now Anisimova have all done that over the the last few years. I grew up watching Serena, Venus, Hingis, Henin, Capriati, Clijsters and Davenport, and it just was unheard of back then.

Sweet, Bianca❤️! My fellow Gemini, you are strong, smart and kind❤.You have a bright future!

[liseash]

Very very complicité with her Mother and Father and Coco yes Coco beautiful dog 😊😅

[briany]

It's not easy being a fan of Bibi but I can't help myself 😂🇨🇦❤️

[Lauren-vdqe]

I had a feeling that after she won all those top level events, then disappeared, that it overwhelmed her, and she needed to draw back and gather herself, bc she had become scattered, mentally.

[marianagaoka]

Andreescu isn't my favorite player but I know that she is one of the most empathetic and nicest players on tour.

[SicPapi]

Every Tennis Fan has a Favorite. You either Love Bianca or you don't. She won the US Open, Indian well which is considered a Premier event and Rogers cup, That was very special to her. She could easily Represent Romania but Tennis Canada stuck with her and supported her and she is a Humble person. She has always taken the time out to show her love and thank the Romanian people for their support. There are many players who ditched Canada to Represent other Countries. The word ditched sounds harsh but in Reality the Country you play for means a lot now, probably more than ever. Pride, Patriotism, Bianca supported her team when she was recovering from injury. Bianca Elevated the Sport of Tennis in Canada. Canada has The Worlds best up and comming Female Surfer Reppin Canada and she is only 15🤟Tennis Courts are springing up all over Canada. Canada is no longer just a Hockey nation. Bibi is Young and has a Bright Future in Front of her. Canada is Going to the BJK Finals I Hope to see GB there as well.

Bianca Andreescu...I like her style if play... And I don't think she has ever argued with umpire .2019 to 2023.should have been her rising years but unfortunately she is getting injuries. She need not go for difficult shots by which she brings upon her injuries. Steffi Graf should be her ideal .

[MrPinkfloydian]

This is cool!!! I'd say that this is the good consumerism of videos. These are the "Organic" type of videos 😂 It's the healthier gossip 😂 or the healthier procrastination 🤭 I love to see what these super-athletes are made of, their roots. So interesting and inspiring.

[tennissir]

I never considered Andrescu as a person who lacked love for herself.

[jordangraham]

I have anxiety I was away from sports for two years I feel like that was my mental break

[alexandreandreescu]

Ai gente que emoção, como ela eh linda, minha neném. 🥰🥰
