‘I Would Be Having Babies’- Canadian Tennis Beauty Eugenie Bouchard Minces No Words to Ooze Confidence About Her Ability to Win Tournaments

Canadian Eugenie Bouchard was once touted as a tennis sensation, and her stellar performances took her up to World No. 5 in the WTA rankings. However, injuries derailed her career, and right now, the 29-year-old finds herself languishing at No. 292. The good thing for Bouchard is that she has recovered from her 17-month spell on the sidelines through injury. It seems like she is ready to compete at the highest level again.

In a press conference ahead of the ITF Oeiras Ladies Open in Portugal, Bouchard revealed the passion she still has for tennis through a hilarious comment. The 2014 Wimbledon runner-up would hope to kickstart her career again as she aims to return to the top of women’s professional tennis.

Lengthy absence of Eugenie Bouchard from tennis hasn’t shattered her self-belief

During Bouchard’s press conference, an interviewer asked her if she still believes she can win trophies. Bouchard replied, “Of course, I mean, I feel like I wouldn’t put in all this time and effort if I didn’t still believe that.”

She also reflected on her lengthy spell on the sidelines owing to various injuries. According to Bouchard, recovering from such a lengthy spell out is always difficult. “It’s a lot to come back from injury. It takes a lot of patience, a lot of time, a lot of energy and life is short, you know.”

Bouchard saved the best words for the conclusion of her answer. “So, I’m doing it because I think I still can. If I didn’t, I would be having babies or something else.” Several coaches have tried to help Bouchard get back to where she was, but her injuries hampered that from happening.

Nevertheless, the Canadian’s self-confidence is awe-inspiring especially after a tumultuous 2023 so far.

2023 has been difficult so far for Bouchard

Since returning to professional tennis from injury, Bouchard has found it difficult to recover the form that made her such a feared player. The ASB Classic was her first tournament in 2023 but she was in for an early exit. Next, she appeared in the qualifying round of the Australian Open and failed to make it to the finals.

Before heading to Portugal, she participated in the WTA 250 Copa Colsanitas. Again, she failed to go deep into the tournament. Bouchard will certainly hope for better luck in Portugal as she tries hard to get back to the peak of her powers ahead of the 2023 French Open. What do you make of the Canadian’s confidence?
