UNDATED (AP) — 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu says she will take a mental break from tennis and sit out the start of next season, including the Australian Open.
Andreescu said Monday in a posting on Twitter that she wants to “re-set, recover, and grow” after a challenging two years that included getting COVID-19.
Andreescu joins other professional athletes who have cited the need for time away from competition to gather themselves mentally.
