Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has retired from the game of lawn tennis. She played the final match of her professional tennis career yesterday against Belinda Bencic of Switzerland.
In this match, 31-year-old Bouchard, who hails from Westmount, Quebec, suffered a 2-6, 6-3, 4-6 defeat.
Before the second-round defeat at the National Bank Open, Bouchard made a winning start to the tournament on Wednesday, winning the first round match with 6-4, 2-6, 6-2.
Tennis Canada announced before the start of the National Bank Open that Bouchard would retire at any stage that she exits this tournament. Bouchard played her final international tournament at her home ground in Montreal.
Bouchard's career has been a rollercoaster, and during the 2014 season, she reached a ranking of world number 5 in the WTA.
During that season, Bouchard also reached the final of the Wimbledon Grand Slam, where she lost to Petra Kvitova. In 2012, Bouchard won the junior Wimbledon title.
Tennis Canada shared a post on X and thanked the tennis star for making the night memorable and for giving it her all till the very end.
