Poor Andreescu is one perpetually injured young girl. Like the female Kokkinakis. Lousy.

Well she has just come back from not playing for over 15 months,I guess players tend to pick up injuries,due to lack of match play,fingers crossed,for such a young player she has had soo much time off the tour, if she can stay healthy to me she is a Top 5 player in the tour.

Hoping she still can get healthy enough to have a decent comeback. Her game is there still if not for all the unfortunate injury setbacks.

I don't know. Front. These ladies are so quick and fast around the courts..I don't know if Kim can recover afterwards a match and what her endurance is at this point in her comeback.

True and not meaning to be nasty but it's a fact she's a bit overweight for top tier tenis and maybe that's contributing to her getting injured so often. Well, that and age.
