The Canadian tennis beauty, Eugenie Bouchard, didn’t participate in Wimbledon for two years due to injury and now she is back in London for the grand event. Since she made a comeback to tennis in January this year, she had several lackluster outings, both in major and other tournaments. She will be certainly hoping to change that in the upcoming grass-court championships. But before her campaign in London, she ensured to share her deep Roger Federer admiration.
After her comeback, Eugenie Bouchard couldn’t qualify for the ASB Classic, the Australian Open, and the Italian Open. However, she reached the quarterfinal of a WTA 125 tournament. She would try to bring the same spark to Wimbledon, but before that, she shared her intense Roger Federer fandom on her Instagram.
