As a player who witnessed highs as well as a disappointing lows in her tennis career so far, Bouchard recently began talking about mental health and how she was told multiple times that she couldn’t handle pressure.

“At that time, it’s been six years, we didn’t talk about mental health like we talk about it now. In the old days, we would have been told: “you’re a baby, you can’t handle the pressure” .So, I didn’t mention it. Now the general population realizes that it is part of sport. It’s good that we can have these discussions”, the Canadian told in an interview few months ago.
