She’s ready for the main draw.
Eugenie Bouchard trounced through US Open qualifying with three easy wins in which she lost a total of seven games. The Canadian has seen her game torpedo since advancing to the 2014 Wimbledon finals and reaching No. 5 in the world. But she is slowly inching her way back to prominence after qualifying and winning a main draw match at Wimbledon.
Bouchard has a tortured history at Flushing Meadows and it has little do with what’s happened on the court, where she’s twice reached the fourth round. The Canadian slipped in the US Open locker room and suffered a concussion in 2015, which forced her to miss the rest of the season and led to a lawsuit against the USTA that was settled earlier this year.
Bouchard, 24, clinched her spot in the field of 128 with a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Bronxville’s Jamie Loeb. Bouchard is currently ranked No. 123 in the world.
