Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard has been in Miami, Florida in preparation for the 2019 Miami Open. She sees an unexpected result…

Women’s singles qualifying action is underway at the 2019 Miami Open and Eugenie Bouchard finds herself ousted early on… The Canadian tennis player has seen ups and downs on the WTA Tour in the last year but came into Miami as the second seed in women’s singles qualifying. Taking on Nao Hibino of Japan, she finds herself on the wrong side of her opening match results. Hibino takes their meeting in three sets, winning 4-6, 6-0, 6-4.

It looked as though everything was going Bouchard’s way after she won the first set. Her unseeded opponent, however, roars back to dominate the final two sets. Genie might be gone from the tournament action, but she made the most of her time in Miami.

Following an opening round loss at Indian Wells to Kirsten Flipkens, Bouchard took off to Miami and could be found near the beach HERE.

Take a look at the pseudo photo shoot she did on her social media accounts from her Miami Beach hotel, posing as ‘The Thinker’ and sharing other photos like these.

Bouchard brings a massive following with her on social media and continues to be a player that fans are drawn to on the WTA Tour. She is yet to retouch that top WTA form she had just a short few years ago. Bouchard reached as high as the world number five ranking in women’s singles tennis back on the 2014 WTA Tour.

Currently sitting in the world number 73 position in women’s singles tennis, Genie has to string together some tournament success if she hopes to contend with the best in the sport. Women’s singles has experienced a resurgence as of late. Check out these MUST WATCH RISING WTA STARS TODAY.
