“I believe I can go back to the top, and I think I showed that last week,” Andreescu told reporters. “I don’t have time to spend, for me it’s not like now or ever because I know I’m still only 24 years old, but I see all these young people doing well and I’m like AHH (I express the alarm) because I’ve been on a long time, like six years, right?
“At the time I can do to control the controls, I will do. That’s me, my attitude, what I put on my body, all these things.”
