Former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard will officially bring her tennis career to a close at the upcoming WTA 1000 tournament in her hometown of Montreal, set to begin later this month. The 31-year-old Canadian has largely transitioned to playing pickleball and has competed in only one professional tennis match this season, so her decision to retire is not really a surprise.
Taking to social media to share the news, Bouchard wrote, “You’ll know when it’s time. For me, it’s now. Ending where it all started: Montreal.” She accompanied the message with a series of photos from her career, including one of her first photos playing tennis as a little girl.
