Analysis: What is next for Bianca Andreescu after bitter Roland Garros disappointment

No current grass court plans it seems

But despite this she is not currently entered into any tournaments that take place in the week post Roland Garros. This includes Queen's, s'Hertogenbosch and also even Birmingham which is a WTA 125 which features Alexandra Eala for instance who is also playing Ilkley instead of treading the Queen's to Nottingham route.

But likely with the clay court season now over it will be full speed ahead trying to get into events and 's-Hertogenbosch while speculation could be a route given that it lacks the star power it usually does due to Queen's now being in the same week.

The field in London is stacked including Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, Emma Raducanu among others and so Andreescu potentially may benefit from staying in Europe and playing the s'Hertogenbosch to Berlin to Bad Homburg or Eastbourne cycle.

She will need matches not only for her Wimbledon hopes but also going forward. She is one of the first alternates for the Wimbledon draw so in reality is unlikely to need qualifying unlike Roland Garros.

While if she can get wins early on in the grass court season and further her ranking, less reliance is needed apart from Canada where she presumably will get a wildcard on her needing spots in the US Open swing in particular. So all energy is likely placed into that as well as the main of staying healthy.

As we know, the US Open or maiden Grand Slam effect can go one of two ways with Raducanu faltering after winning the same event. Sloane Stephens has never been the same again, while Sofia Kenin is on her way back like Raducanu but didn't dominate in the way she did during her run in Australia.

Andreescu at her best

Andreescu though shows more ardent talent but it is more just injuries. A bit like Karolina Muchova on the women's side who albeit isn't a Grand Slam champion but is a finalist and showed at the end of last year when not injured, she is a force.

Andreescu showed in Rome in beating both Vekic and Rybakina that she has it hooked up, it's just about consistency and staying fit. So what will be next for her relies on staying healthy and also using her limited ranking to navigate spots in draws. She will be fresh for the grass court season and is likely to receive wildcards especially given that especially in the UK, most can accrue main draw spots on their own.

Such as Boulter, Raducanu and Kartal so there are spots there if these players want them and adding a popular Andreescu to a field is very much an interesting proposition. So while she may be downhearted with the loss to Hibino, it is only positive signs going into the middle of 2025.
