The former world No. 5 Canadian stormed past China’s Zhu Lin, 6-0, 6-2, in a 51-minute romp to advance to the second round of qualifying, where she’ll face Karolina Muchova. Usually, a qualifier would be pretty pleased with that type of performance, but it’s an awkward position for the 24-year-old, who was a finalist at the All England Club back in 2014, which was pretty evident in her post-match interview with the on-court broadcaster. Reporter: Congratulations Eugenie, it doesn’t get much better than that. Your assessment of that match? Bouchard: Thank you, it was pretty solid. Reporter: How pleased were you with the way you started the game? Bouchard: Pretty happy, you know, it’s important on grass to start well. Reporter: Your coach was watching you in the stands, what impact has he had on you? Bouchard: He’s been really helpful, I think he’s a great coach. Reporter: This is obviously a very special place for you, Wimbledon — the Championships, how hard has it been having been in a final there to come back and have to go through qualifying? Bouchard: It’s not hard at all, I’m happy to be here.

Eugenie Bouchard had been one of the players to watch in the years to come when she stunned the tennis world in 2014, becoming world number 5 after reaching the semi-final at the Australian Open and Roland Garros and playing in the title match at Wimbledon at the age of 20 after thrilling wins over Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep. Bouchard had a chance to compete at the WTA Finals and we all expected more good results from her in 2015, which never happened despite a good start of the year. Following another deep run in Melbourne, Eugenie lost the ground and she lost early at Roland Garros and Wimbledon to lose her ranking position and struggling to return to the top ever since. With no WTA finals or too many big wins in the last two years, Bouchard had to drop out from the top-100 in January for the first time since April 2013 and she returned into the elite group only after the last tournament of the year in Luxembourg where she played in the semis, just the second of the season. Eugenie is the highest-ranked Canadian player in the year-end rankings despite barely staying in the top-200 in June and that secured Tennis Canada Female Player of the Year and Singles Player of the Year awards. Thus, she has been named Female Player of the Year for the fifth time in the last six years, leaving the remaining two players in the top-200 of the WTA list (Bianca Andreescu and Rebecca Marino) behind her. The other winners of the 2018 Excellence Awards are Gabriela Dabrowski who is a Doubles Player of the Year and Rebecca Marino who is the Most Improved Player. In addition, Leylah Annie Fernandez is the Junior Player of the Year. Dabrowski is currently ranked 10th on the WTA doubles list after winning titles in Sydney and Eastbourne, together with a mixed doubles title in Melbourne with Mate Pavic and the final at Roland Garros.

Eugenie Bouchard admits that social media can make you “crazy”, and tries not to get too wrapped up in the online world. In the age of Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, athletes are able to offer fans a window into their lives like never before, while such applications are also important marketing tools to leverage endorsements and sponsorships. Despite being world No 87, the Canadian, who defeated Madison Brengle in the first round of the ASB Classic yesterday, remains one of the most high profile players on the WTA tour. It’s partly due to her incredible exploits in 2014, in just her second year on tour, when she reached the Wimbledon final and the last four at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, which created a buzz about the Montreal-born player that has never really dissipated. But it’s also due to her glamorous image — the 24-year-old has been a regular Sports Illustrated swimsuit model — and her prolific activity on Instagram, which has garnered almost two million followers worldwide, as she post regularly from exotic locations around the world.

2014 Wimbledon runner-up Eugenie Bouchard enjoyed a bright start to her 2019 season, knocking out American Madison Brengle, 6-3, 6-3 at the ASB Classic.
Bouchard hadn't won a season opener since 2016 when she reached the quarterfinals of the Shenzhen Open; beginning the year in for the first time since 2013, she dispatched Brengle after one hour and 11 minutes on Centre Court.
