Andreeescu successfully escaped the injury crisis; how did the Canadian girl earn the title of a drama queen?

After winning against Krejcikova in the first round in Montreal, Andreeescu thought it would be tough to shake off the injury scare, but ultimately, it was just a false alarm!

Once Andreeescu drew Czech player Krejcikova in the first round in Montreal, the match was regarded as one of the exciting showdowns not to be missed on the first day of this 1000 event. Besides Andreeescu's status as a local player, both athletes are Grand Slam champions, which naturally adds to the appeal.

It proved worthwhile to buy tickets to watch the match between Andreeescu and Krejcikova, as both Grand Slam champions fought fiercely from the very start of the first set.

Competing in front of her hometown fans, Andreeescu's performance was certainly commendable. Even though Krejcikova displayed significant resilience and aggression, the Canadian player managed to withstand immense pressure from the home crowd, winning the first set 6-3.

With a solid performance all around, Krejcikova was quite dissatisfied with the outcome of the first set as she couldn't break through Andreeescu's defense. What frustrated the Czech player was that despite enhancing her stability and offensive strength in the second set, she still couldn't find a way past the Canadian.

When Andreeescu reached the pivotal point of the match at 5-4 in the second set and had her own serve to win the match, fans in the live stream remarked that Krejcikova, despite leading in the second set, failed to maintain her advantage, making a comeback seem even more difficult now.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, Andreeescu twisted her ankle while attempting a save, sitting on the ground with a painful expression, forcing the match to pause.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, many believed that fate was helping Krejcikova to stage a comeback; if she couldn't seize such an opportunity, it would truly be unfortunate.

When Andreeescu returned to the court, her performance was surprisingly impressive. Not only did she not quickly fall behind, but she also seemed to be in even better form than before her injury, winning two points in a row against Krejcikova, leaving everyone in the live stream astonished.

Some expressed that Andreeescu appeared to be seriously injured, yet her return to the court showcased the spirit of competitive sports, "but it seemed like nothing was wrong, and she smoothly secured the match."

This unexpected turn of events quickly led to suspicions that Andreeescu might have feigned her injury, sparking the "drama queen incident"! Some even sarcastically urged Andreeescu to continue her performance in the second round against Andreyeva, "let's see what other impressive acting skills she can display."

The public scrutiny of Andreeescu raised concerns among her supporters; if everything went smoothly against Andreyeva, a much larger media storm would undoubtedly descend upon the Canadian, pushing her into the eye of the storm.

Just when everyone was waiting to see how Andreeescu would navigate the crisis, unexpectedly, the Canadian announced her withdrawal due to injury before the match, swiftly calming the situation and successfully extricating herself from the crisis.

Afterwards, an interesting question arose: why do so many people refer to Andreeescu as a drama queen, and where did this "nickname" come from?

In fact, a player is often labeled a drama queen because they tend to use various tricks during matches to disrupt their opponents. If this happens frequently, it's only natural to be accused of acting.

However, Andreeescu's "drama queen" title became widely known in connection with German star Kerber.

During a match between Kerber and Andreeescu, both players went to the restroom during a break, and the noises made by the Canadian significantly disturbed the German, leading to a confrontation between the two. The incident caused quite a stir in the media!

"You are the biggest drama queen ever." When Kerber's harsh words directed at Andreeescu were disclosed, it quickly familiarized the public with this "nickname" for the Canadian. Coupled with her tendency to engage in minor antics during matches, this label became firmly attached to her and is hard to shake off!(Source: Tennis Home, Author: Moon River's Starry Sky)
