J twitter.com/tennischannel/… Bouchard, a former Wimbledon finalist, underwent shoulder surgery in 2021, which saw her sidelined for a year and a half. She recently made her comeback at a Challenger event in Vancouver, but couldn’t score a win against Dutch player Arianne Hartono. Shedding light on her days off the court, Bouchard said that she had faced some tough times which made her realize her love for the sport. “I’ve just gained so much experience off the court. I’ve been through some really tough moments and it has really tested my patience. It made me realize how much I loved tennis,” she said.

I've never had to come back from surgery before. I’ve never had such a big injury. For me, it’s really ground zero,” she noted. The Canadian, who received a wildcard to contest in Chennai, entered the WTA 250 event on the back of a second-qualifier loss at the US Open.
