Canada’s Bianca Andreescu has pulled out of the French Open and will take the rest of the season off to focus on her recuperation, the world No. 7 said on Tuesday.

Andreescu, who did not defend her 2019 US Open crown this year, has not played on tour since the WTA Finals in Shenzhen last year where she retired with a knee injury. That injury also kept her out of the Australian Open.

“I have come to the difficult decision to skip the clay court swing this year and will be taking the remainder of the season off to focus on my health and training,” Andreescu said in a statement.
