Bianca Andreescu will not be in Indian Wells to defend her BNP Paribas Open title as the Canadian is still nurturing a left knee injury that cut short her WTA Finals debut last October.
In a statement released on the BNP Paribas Open official Twitter profile, Andreescu said:
As many of you know, I’ve been working through an injury I suffered last year during the WTA Finals. It’s been a long road to recovery and while I was looking forward to getting back on court and defending my title at Indian Wells, unfortunately I’m still not 100%.
