Eugenie Bouchard Wastes No Time as She Hits the Gym in Search of Her Next WTA Title

Eugenie Bouchard had her breakout in the realm of tennis when she reached the finals of Wimbledon in 2014. Although her career has plateaued since that achievement, the Canadian star has been active on tour. Recently, the player shared some Instagram stories of her hitting the gym and doing training to sharpen her fitness.

Being from a non-tennis playing country, Bouchard became a tennis role model for the players in her country. However, last year, she had to undergo a serious shoulder surgery which took more than a year for her to recover. The player is back on the court, however, is struggling to find her rhythm back.
