At the age of 20, Bouchard had made it through to the Wimbledon finals. From then on, she has had setbacks but is now trying to bring herself up again.
Bouchard, on her path to reach the top again, played the Prague Open in August of this year. She was ranked in the low 300s and made it on to the quarterfinals, where she lost to the eventual runner-up Elise Mertens. She currently ranks at 141 and is looking to get inside the top 100 in the WTA rankings in 2021.
The former World No.5 was recently seen practicing for the upcoming season in the freezing temperatures of Canada. But it looks unlikely she will make it to the Australian Open 2021 because of her rankings.
