Eugenie Bouchard Struggling From Bad Form

Bouchard had a horrible time in 2019. After crashing out of the top 100 in 2018, Bouchard started the year off positively.

She made it to the quarterfinals in Auckland. However, things started going southwards soon after as she crashed out of the second round at the Australian Open.

Things became so bad that the Canadian could not win a single match at Indian Wells, Miami, French Open, Eastbourne, Wimbledon, Rogers Cup, Vancouver and New York.

Bouchard went on a 13 match losing streak across events. In fact, she ended the 2019 season ranked 262.

However, 2020 started off well for the Canadian. She again made it the quarter-finals in Auckland. However, once again the slump in the form returned. She could not make it past the qualifiers of the Australian Open.

She looked at Fed Cup as the platform for her return. However, this injury again derails whatever momentum she would’ve thought of gaining.
