Eugenie Bouchard is out after the first round of Wimbledon. The Canadian lost 6-3, 5-7, 8-6 to Tamara Zidansek of Slovenia on Tuesday. Bouchard, now ranked 79th in the world after reaching No. 5 following her run to the Wimbledon final in 2014, hasn't won a match since February. She has played just six matches since her most recent win as the 25-year-old native of Westmount, Que., has battled injuries. Against the 61st-ranked Zidansek, Bouchard battled back from a 3-0 deficit (two breaks down) in the second set to force a third and final set. The Canadian also rallied from 3-0 down in the third set to tie it at 4-4, but couldn't complete the comeback in a match that lasted two hours 20 minutes.

The showdown between Canada’s best two female tennis players did not disappoint at the Rogers Cup on Tuesday night. In a match that lasted more than two hours and had thrilling swings in momentum, rising 19-year-old star Bianca Andreescu delivered a resilient 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over 25-year-old Eugenie Bouchard. Despite it being a first-round meeting, it was arguably the most intriguing all-Canadian female singles match ever played inside this country. The teen from Mississauga, Ont., advances to the second round in Toronto, where she will face Daria Kasatkina for the first time on Wednesday, the world No. 40 from Russia who upset 12th-seeded Angelique Kerber on Monday. Despite the thrilling three-setter, Bouchard leaves an eighth straight tournament without a victory, but called her performance a “medium step” in her quest to climb back up the WTA rankings again.

5 Canadian player said: "Yeah, it's the first time I really experienced the gaming world. And, you know, I heard the winner of Fortnite recently made $3 million, so I might pick up video games. (Smiling.) I mean, that's crazy, that's impressive, and it's a whole world I never knew. In terms of crosswords, I mean, I don't really want to talk about how much of a dork I am, okay? Let's move on. (Smiling.)" Bouchard also spoke about tennis and her desire to keep competing despite being outside the top 100 rankings: "I feel like I've matured and just I've put things in perspective a lot more. So, you know, playing tennis for a living is the most unbelievable thing, and I feel so blessed and lucky in my life. So losing a match is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. And I just really am enjoying it a lot more now, and on the court, I'm staying more positive, and I'm fighting, and, you know, that's all I can do. So whatever happens, happens. And I have to trust the process, as Joel says." Analyzing her loss, Bouchard concluded: "I think it was a solid match from me and the best I've played since I've come back from injury. You know, she's 20 in the world. She's a great player. So to battle with her till 6-4 in the third gives me confidence and just motivates me to work even harder."
