Bianca Andreescu is set to be sidelined for an unknown period due to injury sustained in her quarterfinal match of the Miami Open.

Bianca Andreescu has confirmed that results show she has torn two ligaments in her left ankle and will be out of tennis action for an unknown period.

The Canadian sensation took to her Twitter page to give an update on the injury, saying with the right work, rehab, and preparation, we will see her on the court soon.

How Andreescu got injured

Andreescu sustained the heart-breaking injury in her Round of 16 match against Ekaterina Alexandrova, causing her to retire the match in the second set.

Alexandrova won the first set 7-6(0), and Andreescu was leading the second 2-0 before she rolled her ankle. She was heard saying to the doctors, "I've never felt this kind of pain before," and then taken off in a wheelchair to a standing ovation from the crowd.

Andreescu was having a great tournament in the Miami Open, defeating Emma Raducanu and Maria Sakkari on her way to the Round of 16, so it's sad to see her tournament appearance end abruptly.

She will look forward to getting better and rediscovering her fantastic form before the injury occured.

Meanwhile, Pulse Sports reported that Sorana Cirstea stunned Aryna Sabalenka to reach the Miami Open semifinals, her first WTA 1000 semifinal in ten years.
