Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard has been recovering from a shoulder injury she suffered earlier this month. Due to that, she has been unable to compete at the French Open earlier this month followed by the ongoing Wimbledon Championships.

Recently, Eugenie Bouchard was left gutted when she received an email from the Wimbledon Championships 2021. Amusingly, she was asked to call up in advance to schedule her practice session as it was raining at the start of today’s play. On the funny side of things, the Canadian player has been rehabilitating at home in Canada.
