Andreescu left screaming in agony and is taken off court in wheelchair at Miami Open

Bianca Andreescu was left screaming in agony and had to be taken off court in a wheelchair after suffering a leg injury at the Miami Open.

The 2019 US Open champion fell to the court, clutching her lower left leg while moving across the baseline during the third game of the second set of her fourth-round match against Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Andreescu was left in tears, crying out “I've never felt this kind of pain before”, as she received medical treatment.

The Canadian was eventually helped to her feet and shared a hug with Russian Alexandrova before leaving Hard Rock Stadium in a wheelchair to a standing ovation from the crowd.

“I'm just really sorry that it happened,” said Alexandrova, who will now take on Petra Kvitova in the last eight. “Seeing her on the court in so much pain, it's just painful to watch.

“You cannot help, you just can do nothing, which is terrible. And I think she's going to be fine soon, and I'm wishing for her speedy recovery.”
