Tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has been told to “show some respect” after an "insensitive" reaction to Serena Williams’ heartbreaking Rogers Cup exit. The Canadian tennis pro was watching on as tennis GOAT Williams retired with injury while trailing Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu 3-1 in the Rogers Cup final on Monday morning (AEST). Williams, who hopes to chase a record-equalling 24th career grand slam title at the US Open, seemed fine on court but suddenly sat crying in her chair before deciding to retire 19 minutes into the match with a back spasms. "I'm sorry I couldn't do it today. I tried but I just couldn't do it," a tearful Williams, who struggled to get the words out, told the crowd. "It's been a tough year but we'll keep going."

Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard has trolled Maria Sharapova for meekly surrendering against the great Serena Williams in the first round of US Open 2019. Williams defeated former arch-rival Sharapova within 59 minutes with a 6-1, 6-1 scoreline on Monday which took her head to head record against the Russian to 20-2. Bouchard, who was present at the court to watch the match, tweeted, ‘I’m just here for the handshake ’, taking a direct dig at Sharapova for not putting up a show against Williams. Bouchard herself bowed out of the US Open after losing in the first round to 12th seed Anastasija Sevastova 6-3, 6-3 in a match which lasted 74 minutes, only 15 more minutes than Sharapova vs Williams. In the past the Canadian has accepted that she used to look up to the Russian, referring to her performance in the 2004 Wimbledon.

Opting to play only doubles this week at the Henderson Tennis Open, Genie Bouchard got back on the winning track Wednesday.
Teamed up with Hungary’s Fanny Stollar, the No. 2 seeds dispatched Stephanie Wagner of Germany and Maria Gutierrez Carrasco of Spain 6-3, 6-3 in the first round.
They played Hsu Chieh-Yu of Taipei and Marcela Zacarias of Mexico in the quarterfinals Thursday and after a swoon in a second set they could well have won, took it in the match tiebreak.
On Friday, they were defeated by the most experienced players they had faced, Mandy Minella and Olga Govortsova, and went down 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals.
Here she is talking about the victory Wednesday in Henderson.
