–

Bianca Andreescu is back – finally.

The 21-year-old Canadian is due to take the court in Stuttgart Tuesday to face German wild card Jule Niemeier.

It’s a “not before 6:30 p.m.”. But with the previous match “not before 5 p.m.”, that’s likely to be more like 7 p.m. at the earliest.

Or 1 p.m. EDT.
