Bouchard makes early exit from US Open after first-round loss to Siniakova
NEW YORK — Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard made an early exit from the U.S Open after losing 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to Katerina Siniakova on Tuesday.
Bouchard appeared to struggle with her serve in the third set after having her foot bandaged during a medical timeout. The native of Westmount, Que., was broken three times by Siniakova in the final set.
Overall, Siniakova had 19 break-point opportunities in the match. Bouchard saved 15 of them.
“I feel like I didn’t play really well,” Bouchard said. “My opponent played really well, I think. I tried my best, I fought my hardest so I have no regrets in that sense. But I wish I wish I had better feeling on the court and served better.”
