Andreescu says she has withdrawn from Canada s Olympic tennis team. The 21-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., posted on her Instagram account that she is pulling out of the Games due to pandemic-related challenges. A state of emergency took effect in Tokyo on Monday as the number of new COVID-19 cases is climbing fast and hospital beds are starting to fill just 11 days ahead of the Olympics. The state of emergency will cover the entire duration of the July 23-Aug. 8 Games, and means fans will be banned from attending events.
Andreescu, ranked No. 5 on the WTA Tour, says it was a “difficult decision” and that she has dreamt of representing Canada at the Olympics since she was a little girl.
