Elle a glissé en date d'aujourd'hui au 87ème rang.....avait débuté l'année au 46ème rang.....elle a déclaré forfait pour Séoul la semaine prochaine et fort probablement pour la tournée Asiatique......espérons que cette pause lui sera salutaire.....MAIS la route risque d'être longue et pénible si elle veut remonter à la surface.
Eugenie Bouchard
- Thread starter gohabsgo
- Start date
Ces temps-ci les seuls 'Bouchard' qui m'interessent se nomment Beatrice et Charlotte. :eyebrows::eyebrows::eyebrows:
Sloane Stephens was ranked #934 before she won the US Open, so ranking means shit. BTW Sloane Stephen is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week, and the focus of an article that sheds interesting light about her relationship with her father which did not start until she was 13 years old only to lose him at age 16. She did not find out her father was a convicted rapist until she Google searched him on the Internet. I wonder how she took that news?
However, Eugenie is lacking in the two areas where Sloane Stephens reigns supreme: athleticism and fitness level. Sloane used both to defeat her opponents in the US Open. In those 3 set matches she was very fresh at the end. She was only a couple of shots better than Venus though, and Venus could have won that tournament with slightly better luck on some of the key points, although not to take anything away from Sloane because she was great at the end of that match.
Sorry but ranking is not shit....what Sloane did is EXCEPTIONAL..she did successivement demis in Toronto, Cincinnati and won the US OPEN,,,wow....EXCEPTIONAL I SAID....she is now 17th...am very proud for her. If Bouchard goes over 100 in the ranking...that means that she will have to go through QUALIFICATIONS for every MASTER and MAJOR.....never an easy task....perhaps she could receive a free pass-invitation for Montréal or Toronto....don't see any other organisation offering that.....she is not yet Sharapova.
Ask Francoise Abanda--local player--if she likes to b 122ème....that means that she has to qualify for every important tournament.....and she finds that very demanding.
I think for now Bouchard is more préoccupée with her lawyers to prepare son procès à venir,,,et fort probablement de ne pas jouer...sert bien sa cause. Quand son esprit reviendra au tennis...la pente risque d'être pénible à remonter......just my two cents.

She needs to fall out of the top 100......sometimes a splash of cold water in the face wakes your ass up. Something needs to shake her up as she is in a downward spiral in ranking and in results. She hasn't gotten the most out of her talent and her desire to excel can properly be questioned.
Or her father has to cut her off from her inheritance. Facing the fact she may not inherit millions when he passes away may bring back her hunger to win & get her head out of her ass and start playing tennis like she can.
Doc,
I am not inexperienced at handling Probate Court litigation ensuing after wills have been altered, and I must say that I have never seen anyone cut out of a will because their tennis game was sucking monkey balls. The usual reasons are:
- estrangement from the family or the decedent;
- neglecting the decedent while another person was not during the decedent' waning months or years; the person who took care of the decedent then is substituted as a beneficiary of the Estate;
- siding with the decedent's ex-wife during a divorce, or creating that perception in the eyes of the decedent;
- failing to obey the decedent's wishes that were expressed to the cut out beneficiary during the decedent's lifetime; decedent then makes change in his or her waning weeks or months;
- arbitrary reasons including substituting a manipulating child at the expense of the child's sibling, with the disinherited sibling then getting "duressed" out of their share of the Estate due to the machinations of the scheming sibling.
I have litigated all of these scenarios. Never did see "your out of the will because your tennis game has gone south."

Coach Thomas Hogstedt splits with Genie Bouchard
by Steven Loung
A difficult 2017 season appears to have become even tougher for Canada’s Genie Bouchard.
According to Tennis.Life’s Stephanie Myles, Bouchard’s coach, Thomas Hogstedt, has parted ways the 23-year-old Montreal native and has already signed with another player.
Hogstedt worked with Bouchard through the first three months of her comeback 2016 season and then returned for 2017.
His departure would be more salt in the wound for what’s been a tumultuous year for the No. 87-ranked Bouchard, who has missed the last two tournaments in Quebec City and Seoul with a virus she caught in New York competing in the U.S. Open. She is also expected to miss the upcoming Wuhan Open in China.
In 17 tournaments played this year, Bouchard has only made it out of the first round six times and sports just a 13-18 record.

Une chose est sur, elle est horriblement mal entouré.
Qu'est-ce qu'elle as a gagné de ce procès. Un employé as mal fait sa job et fermé les lumières trop vite.. Elle est déja millionaire. Elle est pogné avec un entourage qui avec l'aide d'avocat américain veulent aller chercher le max de fric sur son dos. Perso elle as tout à perdre de poursuivre et ca doit pas être cool à vivre..
Cheers,

Tout à fait d'accord....et s'en prendre à l'Association américaine de Tennis-USTA---bonne chance. J'ai lu quelque part que la poursuite était de l'ordre d'un peu plus de 150.000 US ....des peanuts dans ce milieu et pour tout le stress qu'elle doit vivre....ET UNE FOIS SES AVOCATS PAYÉS COMBIEN LUI RESTERA-T-IL..et
dans l'hypothèses où elle gagne.....pas évident. Elle risque fort d'être troublée encore très longtemps.

Gaby ca ressemble beaucoup à des cas fréquent aux USA ou les avocats signe un pacte ou ca coute pas un sous si ils gagnent pas. Mais si les avocats gagnent la cause contre USTA effectivement ils ramassent le mottons. Je peux pas croire qu'elle est laissé ca allé.
Cheers,
Cheers,
Comme tu disais...bien mal entourée. J'ai l'impression que ses parents---seuls vrais conseillers---poussent très fort. L'USTA a refusé à ce jour toute MÉDIATION...veulent aller jusqu'au bout...comme s'ils ont un compte à régler avec elle. Ce procès risque de durer des mois voire même des années...et pendant ce temps la petite risque de s'écrouler goûte à goûte...bien malheureux tout ca.........serait beaucoup mieux de retirer sa poursuite....passer à autre chose.....comme au tennis.....ou fonder une famille....lol.
She's lost in the 1st roujnd something like 13 out of the last 15 matches she's played in.
I'll no longer follow her career. I gave up. I'll still follow her on twitter and hope she turns her game around. But no longer will watch her matches or care.
On a more positive note, Milos Raonic played his first match since undergoing wrist surgery and won his first match and looked very good from all accounts. So go Milos, go Shapo!!!
Don't know if some are watching SINGAPORE women's CHAMPIONSHIP. Ce tournoi annuel féminin de fin de saison confronte les 8 meilleures joueuses de l'année....pour moi c'est le plus intéressant tournoi féminin qui couronne la Championne 2017. And guess who will play in the final tomorrow....VENUS WILLIAMS....just incredible and what a game in semi she played today. She will play WOZNIACKI qui connaît une année extraordinaire BUT for sure i will cheer for Venus.....go Venus.....
Wozniacki had never beaten Venus Williams, I believe she was 0-7 or 0-8. Also interesting to note that Wozniacki and Serena Williams are very, very close friends. She is Serena's closest friend on tour (other than Venus) and they travel together sometimes. Serena was there for Wozniacki when Wozniacki was dumped by Rory McIlroy.
