Eugenie Bouchard renewed 2020 form post-mid-season break
Bouchard started off the 2020 season miserably. She couldn’t even get past the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open. And further poor performances caused her ranking to drop out of the 300. Then, when the season restarted, Bouchard changed her trajectory.
Bouchard reached the Prague Open quarterfinal and later at the Istanbul Open she was the runner-up. That jumped her close to the top 150 rankings. Bouchard was then given the wildcard for the French Open. She ended her season being 141st in the world.
