Eugenie
Bouchard was forced to retire from her match against Sara Errani at the Firenze
Ladies Open due to physical issues.
The
Canadian tennis player has been showing signs of improvement in her game in
recent weeks, particularly on the clay court. She had secured several victories
during the Madrid Open, building confidence and momentum. In her journey to the
quarterfinals of the Firenze Ladies Open, she defeated Diletta Cherubini and
Kaja Juvan.
Unfortunately,
Bouchard was unable to complete the match against Sara Errani, a finalist in
the 2022 French Open. She sought medical attention three times during the
match, ultimately leading to her retirement. At the time of her withdrawal,
Bouchard was trailing 6-3, 1-0. This setback comes just a week before the
highly anticipated French Open, a tournament in which Bouchard is scheduled to
compete.
It is worth
noting that Bouchard faced a significant hiatus from tennis in 2021, taking a
break of 17 months due to a shoulder surgery. Since her return to the sport,
she has been working towards regaining her form and achieving positive results.
While she continues to face challenges, Bouchard remains determined to climb
back up the rankings and compete at a high level.
As the
tennis world prepares for the upcoming French Open, Bouchard's withdrawal from
the Firenze Ladies Open serves as a reminder of the physical demands and
uncertainties that players face in their quest for success on the court.
