Eugenie Bouchard: The rise and decline of a tennis star

Eugenie Bouchard experienced a rapid ascent and subsequent decline in her professional tennis career. In 2014, the Canadian player reached the heights of the WTA Tour, achieving a career-high ranking of No. 5 in the world. During that breakout year, she reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the French Open, and competed in the Wimbledon final.

Following her success, Bouchard faced a significant drop in performance. This decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including various injuries—notably a concussion sustained during the 2015 US Open—frequent changes in coaching staff, and a loss of competitive confidence. Her career highlights include one WTA singles title in Nuremberg and a junior career that featured a Wimbledon girls' singles title in 2012.
