Bouchard Heads to Melbourne Park With Low Expectations
MELBOURNE — Former golden girl Eugenie Bouchard is heading into the Australian Open with "zero expectations" of success after a year plagued by injury and poor form.
Following a breakout year in 2014, the Canadian tumbled out of the top 10 with first round exits at the French Open and Wimbledon.
Worse was to come, with a dramatic locker room fall leaving her concussed and forced to withdraw from the U.S. Open, an incident which prompted the former world number five to sue the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
After three months away from the tour, Bouchard made a positive return at Shenzhen last week, winning her first two matches before being beaten in the quarter-finals.
