The Canadian tennis star had a memorable run at the tournament. En route to the finals, she defeated the likes of Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber. However, she had a forgettable performance in the summit clash. Kvitova put on a dominating display to edge past Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 to lift the Wimbledon 2014 trophy.

Opening up about her performance in that match, Bouchard said, “So, basically, no Canadian player had ever reached the finals of any Grand Slams before and so, when I did that at Wimbledon in 2014, I was the first Canadian to ever do that. It’s just kind of history, I made history in a sense. And I was obviously very proud to do that for myself and my country. Unfortunately, I did lose in the finals, I got my b**t kicked. But you live and you learn.”
