Patrick Mouratoglou Reacts to Eugenie Bouchard’s New Endorsement Deal

Former World No. 5 Eugenie Bouchard has had the potential to become a great tennis player. However, for many years now, injuries and inconsistent performance has pushed her out of the limelight. Nevertheless, the Canadian is working immensely to make a stunning comeback on the tennis tour.

At the Abierto Zapopan 2021, Bouchard reached the final but lost the title to Sara Sorribes Tormo. This remains her best run of the season so far. Afterward, the Canadian entered the Monterrey Open in mid-March and suffered an opening-round exit.

Notably, the 27-year-old injured her shoulder and has not returned to the tennis court since Monterrey. Moreover, she underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery and is currently rehabbing for the same. The good news is she will now take to the court with a new partner.

Recently, Slinger Bag announced teaming up with Canadian Eugenie Bouchard. Looking at the announcement poster, Patrick Mouratoglou, coach of Serena Williams, gave his approval. He said, “Slinger Bags looks good on you, Eugenie Bouchard.”

Without a doubt, Patrick is one of the most successful tennis coaches in the 21st century. Apart from mentoring the second innings of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena, the Frenchman is shaping up many future prospects, namely, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff.

As for the 2014 Wimbledon finalist, she could not play because of her shoulder injury. However, Genie is looking forward to coming back later this year.
