“Due to my shoulder surgery, get a limited number of protected ranking (PR) entries. As much as I love Wimbledon and skipping it makes me sad, using a PR entry at a tournament with no ranking points doesn’t make sense,” she further said.

In that statement, she also revealed that she will use her protected ranking entries at this year’s US Open and at the Australian Open next year.

Bouchard is slowly making her way to the tennis court

Currently, the Canadian tennis player is going through rehab. Last year she underwent shoulder surgery and missed most of the tour. This year, she played a few exhibition matches in the hope of returning to the circuit, even hinting at a return to the French Open. Unfortunately, she could not get physically fit in time for that competition.

Many thought she would make a comeback at Wimbledon, as it was her favorite competition. Notably, she reached the final of the Wimbledon back in 2014, her best showing at a Grand Slam to date.

Now, she is aiming for a comeback to the tour at the US Open. Meanwhile, she will look to play in some tournaments to get ready for the Grand Slam event, as the last time she played a tournament was back in March last year in Monterrey.

Can Bouchard make a strong comeback this year at Flushing Meadows? Let us know in the comments.
