The Canadian reflects on the best and worst moments of her career in this interview: "There was a moment in my life where not reaching a final was considered a failure."
Eugenie Bouchard
Farewell in style for the Canadian in her beloved Montreal, her last professional tournament: "I am ready to leave tennis and do other things in life."
The Canadian player won a match 14 months later to avoid retirement at the WTA Montreal. She will face Belinda Bencic in the second round.
Eugenie Bouchard wanted to get involved and pointed out Coco Gauff, highlighting the future potential of the American player in pickleball: "She is very athletic, she would dominate singles right away. I wasn't that good at doubles, and that shows in my difficulties in doubles and pickleball, so I don't know. Top five? I'd give her like eight months to achieve it," said Bouchard, as reported by tennishead.

Surely if they had asked her before the tournament began, Eugenie Bouchard would have chosen a very similar ending to what she had last night. On the central court of the WTA 1000 Montreal, competing as in her best days and falling to one of the most in-form rivals on the circuit, like Belinda Bencic. The Canadian left everything on the court, pushed for a third set against a seed, to finally lay down her arms (6-2, 3-6, 6-4) and bid farewell to the sport that has given her everything. This is where we have reached, at 31 years old with hundreds of memories she will never forget. Good luck in what comes next, Genie.

She had not won a singles match in two years, but the big surprise came in what will be her final tournament, at least that's what Eugenie Bouchard said weeks ago after winning her debut at WTA Montreal 2025. These were the words of the Canadian minutes after the triumph: "If I win here, I won't retire." We will be attentive to what happens in Canada.

The Canadian player, who will hang up her racket at the age of 31 in just a few days, reflects on her career.
Eugenie Bouchard has been away from professional tennis for a while, having shifted her focus to pickleball, but she had left the possibility of a return open. She did so last week in Newport, with the aim of preparing for what will be her last professional tournament. The Canadian will bid a final farewell to tennis with the participation in the WTA 1000 Montreal 2025, where she will receive a wildcard entry into the main draw.

It has been quite some time since Genie Bouchard decided to hang up her racket and switch to one of those passing fads that are gaining strong popularity in the United States: pickleball. What the Canadian surely didn't expect, however, was that this sport involved a greater risk than tennis. With a hint of irony, that's how Eugenie experienced it, having to go to the emergency room after receiving an unintentional ball hit from her partner, directly impacting her left eye and scratching her cornea. This is how Genie was left, in some truly unexpected images.
Got hit in the eye with a pickleball during training today. It was a shank off my partner’s paddle straight into the eye 😵💫 Went to urgent care and have a scratched cornea. The things we do for this sport! 🥒 Will be healed in a matter of days 🫶🏼 pic.twitter.com/65FpPJtmb0
