Canada’s Bianca Andreescu loses second-round match at Australian Open

Feb 9, 2021 | 5:56 PM

MELBOURNE, Australia — Canada’s Bianca Andreescu is making a second-round exit at the Australian Open.

She dropped a 6-3, 6-2 decision to Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-Wei at Melbourne Park on Wednesday.

The eighth-seeded Canadian struggled from the start against her 71st-ranked opponent and never really got on track.

Andreescu, from Mississauga, Ont., earned a three-set victory on Monday in her first competitive match in 15 months.

She suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee in October 2019 and focused on training last year rather than return to WTA Tour play.
