Bouchard loses at French Open

-

Canadian Eugenie Bouchard was eliminated from the French Open after a 6-4, 6-4 secondroun­d loss to eighth-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerlan­d on Thursday. A French Open semifinali­st last year, Bacsinszky was broken in her first service game, but Bouchard couldn’t hold the lead as Bacsinszky broke back in the seventh game, broke Bouchard again for a 5-4 lead, and served out the first set. After making the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2014, Bouchard lost in the first round last year. From a careerhigh year-end ranking of seventh, the 22-year-old Canadian slipped out of the top 40 in 2015 and struggled with an eating disorder she says she has since conquered.
