  • The tennis player concluded her career after 16 years of professional activity.
  • Bouchard expressed gratitude to fans and trainers during the farewell.

Eugenie Bouchard, the Canadian tennis player, ended her professional career after losing in the second round of the Canadian Open. In the match, which took place on July 30, 2025, in Montreal, she lost to Swiss Belinda Bencic with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. This was the last tournament in Bouchard's career, which lasted 16 years.

After the match, Bouchard turned to the audience, expressing gratitude for their support. "This is a special moment for me, playing my last match here, in Montreal, on this court," she said. The audience gave her a standing ovation, and Bouchard received a commemorative award from Tennis Canada.

In her final match, Bouchard demonstrated signs of her past success, although she was unable to defeat Bencic. After winning against Colombian Emiliana Arango, Bouchard hoped for a successful final, but despite her efforts, she could not secure the victory.

Bouchard became well-known in the world of tennis after her successful 2014 season, when she reached the Wimbledon final and was among the top five players in the world. However, injuries and issues with form negatively impacted her career in the following years. In recent years, she also participated in commentary matches and competitions with paddle tennis.

Now that her career has come to an end, Bouchard expressed hopes for new opportunities in life after tennis, but her future plans remain uncertain.
