Canada's Bianca Andreescu has been forced to withdraw from the Madrid Open after testing positive for COVID-19 upon her arrival in Spain.

"After testing negative twice before my flight to Madrid, I was sadly informed that I tested positive upon arrival for COVID-19 and, therefore, will not be playing at the Madrid Open later this week," the 2019 U.S. Open winner announced Sunday on Twitter.

"I am feeling good; I'm resting and continuing to follow the health protocols and safety guidelines. I look forward to getting back on the court very soon."

The 20-year-old last featured at the Miami Open earlier in April. She reached the final against Ash Barty but was forced to retire because of an ankle injury.
