Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard (Genie Bouchard) remained all over the news with the start of the calendar year 2017, thanks to everything other than tennis...from going on a blind date to getting topless for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
However, when it came to her on-court action, absolutely nothing has clicked so far.
On Tuesday April 25, Bouchard made a first round exit from the ongoing Istanbul Open 2017, losing to Slovakia's Jana Čepelová, 0-6 4-6.

Twenty-three-year-old Bouchard, who became highly rated following her impressive performance in the 2014 tennis season — reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the French Open that year, respectively, besides making it to the final of the Wimbledon — completely lost her form thereafter.
