Bianca Andreescu vs. Anna Blinkova | 2024 Bad Homburg Round 1 | WTA Match Highlights 

Spoiler blocker

I enjoyed Blinkova's aggressive play and frequent forays to the net - she deserved to win this match.

Glad Bianca is back, love the solid builds on both women, real sluggers.

We LOVE you Bibi, your pre-Wimbledon warm-up is complete ❤

It was quite ferocious , hitting the ball early with agressivity and risk ! Well done Anna Blinkova

Andreescu viene de casi un año recuperandose de una lesion y resulta que en el torneo anterior que jugo salio lesionada. Asi que no es de extrañar que en este haya salido en la primera ronda.

Andreescu singing the OPOM (over-powered and out-matched) blues.

Blinkova can bring some game at times, but Andreescu was TOTALLY lackluster out there on the day. She was quite sluggish on her feet, which was the most obvious deficiency. As a result, she was hitting tons of short balls that Blinkova wisely pounced upon. Bianca just seemed to lack any fire or urgency today. That’s not her game. Maybe this event held little interest for her or she woke up feeling undercooked, but it’s a complete change from her fiery determination displayed in the previous event. She’ll have to really rev things up for Wimbledon. Blinkova was all over everything, but that wasn’t much of a challenge when Bianca was hitting so many short replies and, in many cases, not even running for balls.

Great match Bianca 👍

Thank you Anna!

I want to buy tickets for the tournament of national bank but how do i know who will play in round 1? I guess the only way is the wait and see if theirs tickets à day before

Unfortunately for Bianca, the other players are laying in wait for the slice "stuff" to start. She has to get back to making REAL strokes if she is to get back to where she was 3 years ago.

Very slow grass courts, am I’m the only one that thinks this? I thought grass was slick and low. Maybe dry weather?

Why is Bianca slicing so many balls like Monica Niculescu? 😮 She looked sapped here, no energy at all. She was so determined last week, especially against Osaka.

Bibi's "magic Mojo" is gone............🖤♠

If Bianca is still having a physical problem, maybe with her back, I can understand her lack of execution today, though I would rather she not play if that is the case. On the other side of the coin, if she was sans any physical problem, I am concerned about her. I would rather she skip Wimbledon unless she is okay in all ways to compete.

What happened at the net

oh no .. she looked injured ! not again Bibi :(

Just no power in Andreecu's game these days. Average women at best are out hitting her.

well can't win them all. good try bibi. today wasn't your day. see you in Wimbledon. i still think she should of played in Eastbourne and not homburg

Very lazy technique from bianca

It is time now for Andreescu to pack it in. Her motions are that of a tired horse, with no shades in sight.

🥞🥞🥞

Bye byeeeee 😢

Some terrible volleyers on the WTA. They are always just happy to bash it out side to side from the back of the court.
