Eugenie Bouchard will Retire After her Final Match in Montreal

Eugenie Bouchard, a former Wimbledon runner-up, announced her retirement from tennis following her participation in the Canadian Open in her hometown of Montreal.

Later this month, the Canadian will compete in the National Bank Open in Montreal before calling it quits on her career.

Following her participation in the Montreal Open at the end of the month, the 31-year-old Canadian declared her intention to retire from the sport.

Bouchard made his debut in 2014, making it to the Australian Open semifinals at the age of 19. Five months later, he repeated the achievement at the French Open.

However, she defeated future champions Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber on her way to the All England Club final that year, which was her finest major slam performance.

Petra Kvitova, who won her second Wimbledon title in as many years, defeated her 6-3 6-0.

Bouchard has primarily shifted to pickleball and has only played one match on tour this season, despite helping Canada win its only Billie Jean King Cup trophy in 2023. She has a 299-230 career singles record.

Montreal native Bouchard has accepted a wildcard to the WTA 1000 competition, which starts on July 27. This will be her fifteenth time attending the event.

Due to fatigue, world number one Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from the Canadian Open, leaving Coco Gauff as the top seed.

Sabalenka has played 92 hours and 24 minutes in 2025. She finished second at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros this year before losing at Wimbledon in the semifinals.

Emma Navarro came in second with 76 hours and 24 minutes, easily the longest any player has ever played women’s singles at the WTA Tour level.
