GUADALAJARA – Tuesday is the day 28-year-old Genie Bouchard returns to the WTA 1000 level for the first time since the Rogers Cup in Toronto in 2019.
She got a good first-round draw in American lefty Kayla Day, a qualifier who is outside the top 200.
Bouchard warmed up with Italian righthander Martina Trevisan at 11 a.m.
She’ll be on court after Madison Keys and Magda Linette on the second court, “Grandstand Caliente”.
Here’s what it looked like (the senior male demographic sprinted – okay, ambled – over to that court when they saw Bouchard there. LOL).

She won, and she plays quite well these days. She’s got rid of a lot of the hitches she had in her shots in previous years, something I’ve been advocating since my beginnings of watching her. One more reason for me to uphold my previous opinion here that the Canadian Open should have been more supportive of her with a wildcard this August. She has been more welcomed outside Canada lately in this respect.
You assume they didn’t offer her one.
You assume quite often, actually.
(It’s called the National Bank Open).
