Oh no. She skipped a tournament. Quick, someone check if she’s selling crystals on Etsy now!
Whenever Bianca Andreescu takes a break from the tour—whether for injury recovery, mental health, or, heaven forbid, a vacation—the internet jumps straight to retirement rumors. “She’s done.” “She’s pivoting to wellness guru.” “She just posted a picture of a beach—career over!” Calm down, doomscroll detectives.
The latest eyebrow-raising moment? Bianca enrolled in a creative writing course and shared a sunset yoga snap. That’s it. Apparently, this act of self-care and introspection is a coded message: she’s ghosting the sport for good. Or… maybe she’s just journaling between rehab sessions like a balanced adult?
Let’s not forget: Bianca is 24. She’s already won a Grand Slam, beat Serena in a final, and survived the WTA injury blender. If she wants to take a breath—or even write a novel while waiting for her quad to stop screaming—that doesn’t mean she’s throwing her racket in the ocean.
Also, how many players have taken sabbaticals, gone off-grid, then returned to smack everyone around with a vengeance? Hi, Ash Barty. Hi, Kim Clijsters. The list goes on.
So no, she’s not “done.” She’s just not performing for your expectations every week. And if that messes with the tabloid narrative—good.
When she does come back, refreshed and recharged, don’t be surprised if she’s quoting Rumi while dropping aces.
