One of Canada’s most popular tennis players, Eugenie Bouchard, has been a fan favorite since she first emerged on Tour. Her exceptional season of 2014 is still held in high regard. Being a finalist at Wimbledon, a semi-finalist at the French Open, and at the Australian Open at the age of 20 years is commendable. 

However, since then, Eugenie has failed to make it past the quarterfinal stage in the past six seasons. After her 2014 stint, the Canadian reached the quarterfinal at the 2015 Australian Open. She even suffered a concussion during the 2015 US Open, when she fell in the locker room.

Recently, the Canadian star failed to qualify for the Australian Open 2021 main draw. She lost in the second qualifying round match. During the entire match, Eugenie didn’t show any signs of dominating the match or the crucial points.
