Genie is clearly happy to be returning to tennis which is why she has decided not to play only in WTA events. Recently, he made it clear that he wanted to play ITF events to improve his ranking and get as many matches as possible. In addition to that, he also said it would help him gain some confidence.
While it’s great that Bouchard wants to attend ITF events, one of the biggest questions fans will ask is: will he play at the 2020 US Open?
This is an event that has gone through many withdrawals in the past few weeks. Many players like Ashleigh Barty and Elina Svitiolina withdrew from the event due to the pandemic. Also, many other players are unsure of the event due to the strict restrictions.
Bouchard has not officially confirmed his participation in the tournament but hopefully he will do so very soon. And most importantly, every single tennis fan will hope to do very well at the event.
