World Tennis League 2022: Playing doubles with Nick and Rohan is amazing – Bianca Andreescu

 

Canada’s Bianca Andreescu is enjoying the opportunity to share the court with Nick Kygios and Rohan Bopanna in the ongoing World Tennis League 2022 in Dubai. Andreescu is part of the team Eagles in the mixed team tournament, which also has Caroline Garcia and Andreas Seppi.

Bopanna and Andreescu suffered  2-6, 7-6, 10-7 loss against Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov but won more games, which matters in the WTL format. The duo was able to give a 13-10 advantage to the Eagles despite their loss on Wednesday.

“It’s definitely bringing a different vibe to the sport, which I like. It’s my first time playing an exhibition match like this, and it’s nice to have the mixture of the men and the women,” former US Open champion Andreescu told The National.

“Playing doubles with Nick and with Rohan is amazing. He’s a Grand Slam champion, and Nick as well, so it’s nice because I can get some ideas off of them. And who knows, maybe I can play with them in mixed doubles in the future.”

The US Open 2019 champion added the chemistry between her and Bopanna was amazing.

“I thought the chemistry was great right from the start,” Andreescu said after the match.

“We’re both pretty outgoing people so I thought that we were going to bring great energy and we played very well. I think we both have great hands. I think he’s rubbing off on me a little bit on the serve and on the volleys, so hopefully, we can keep it going,” she added.

Meanwhile, Bopanna and Andreescu will team up once again to take on the Hawks’ duo of Anett Kontaveit and Dominic Thiem on Friday. The Eagles are currently in third place in WTL standings with a total of 65 points.
