In an uncomfortably sad scene Monday night at the Miami Open, former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu was taken off the court in a wheelchair after suffering what can only be described as a devastating injury.
Trailing Ekaterina Alexandrova by a set, but leading the second 2-0, Andreescu moved toward a ball during a rally and then suddenly collapsed to the court, holding her leg and ankle. It became immediately evident that this was a serious matter, given the 22-year-old's reaction.
