(Reuters) - Canada's Bianca Andreescu is frustrated with continued setbacks since returning to court at the Australian Open after 15 months due to a knee problem, but the 20-year-old is not willing to let injuries define her fledgling career. A month after winning her maiden Grand Slam at the 2019 U.S. Open, Andreescu suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee and returned to action only in Melbourne in February. "It seems that I'm kind of the only one that keeps getting asked questions about injuries, which is super annoying," the former world number four told reporters. But, yeah, I mean, it's happened quite a bit, but I don't want to define myself through those. "Even if it's something small, sometimes I'll be extra cautious, but I'd rather be that than push through it and get it worse, because I have been through both, and today I'm glad that I stopped.
