Eugenie has clearly been inconsistent with her performances on Tour. She has not gone past the fourth round of a Grand Slam since the US Open in 2015, which indicates she hasn’t performed to the best of her abilities at the Grand Slam events. However, there was a promising sign when she made it to the final of the Istanbul Open last year.
In the current season, Bouchard played the Australian Open qualifiers held in Dubai. She lost in her second-round qualifying match, as a result of which she will miss out on the first Major of the new season.
