I think it is a bummer that Bouchard is still being given WCs into main draws. Give some other up and coming players a chance to compete in main draws for a change.
Was just wondering. So at this point, does genie still have an ARMY? lol I'm surprise Nike is still investing on special kits for her when she's not even winning, while Simona is no. 1 but she was given the same kit as everyone else. Haha
Yep, I've never understood why Bouchard gets her own kits either, when she's done nothing on tour in over 3 years. And really players that do get their own specialized kits are usually slam champions or top ranked players. Players like Simona and Elina Svitolina have done a lot more than Genie over the past 3 years. And Petra Kvitova has won 2 GS. But they have to wear to wear the same kits as everyone else. Nike is basically saying a nothing player who is now outside the top 100 has more standing than 3 players who are proven winners and near the top of the game. That really does not make sense. Really, it's amazing that Nike is still sponsoring Bouchard when she simply has done nothing but look pretty.
Mrreciprocat Sharapova has six majors while Bouchard has none. Eugenia is a one and done. Sharapova just lost her edge so she now has to work twice as hard to get past the first. She can do it, but Eugenia can’t.
When parents ask me, “Why is proper technique so important?” Or “Is decision making really that important?”.....I show them Bouchard matches like this.
Like Sachia's play. From these highlights it looks like she was getting to everything. Will be watching her in next match. But on side note, please someone work with her on undergarment selections. They have bras that work better with that kind of top. ijs. Great win.
Sasha has deceptive power from both sides, reminiscent of Chanda Rubin when hitting shots on the run. Or even Seles, with a flick of the wrist creating some extreme angles from unexpected positions. She keeps her arms closer to her body and does not give away much clues as to where she will hit her shots (or with what speed for that matter). Amazing technique to be able to do that without the typical requisite preparation on her backswing. Her physique should also be able to withstand and flourish from her opponent's pace (assuming her muscles remain healthy and not prone to injury from overtraining or lack of body fat for shock absorption - yes believe it or not the reason why Sanchez Vicario lasted as long as she did with her game was partly due to her healthy body and lack of body shame issues)).
Seriously. She reminds me of Kyrgios, all talk no skill, except Kyrgios has the game. If you want to be dramatic and stuff ofcourt that’s fine, but make sure you back it up with your match, because Sharapova gets forgiven bea sue she can back it up, right now genie, you can’t sorry to say.
Epirus Φ Her lawsuit stuff with the USTA. When she “tripped and bumped her head”. Apparently that head bump ruined her career and she hasn’t been able to make a comeback, which is nonsense.
I can't really understand what happened to Genie...she had so much potential and she now looks like she doesn't wanna be on the court anymore. She's gonna have to start playing qualifying to get big tournaments soon.
Like the fast changeover in WTA. No player for media to make into a demigod....so sickening to witness it. No one can sit on their laurels or have time to show "attitude" offcourt. Almost like new improving AI programmed players closing down the top ones. I would like to see Vickery MAINTAIN the focus and concentration, from continent to continent, surface to surface. You can do it.
Bouchard isn't putting away the short balls, hitting them big with bad placement won't cut it..She knows better and is better than that..She's too good to keep this up, its a problem that can be fixed...
Pomerlain89 Its one match. Lol She is a good player, but wait until she faces a player who will time and time again attack her serve and push her behind the baseline, and not play these long rallies, you will see a different story.
Well done Sasha............If that is mum at 3.25.........then I see where she got the solid frame from...........some solid tree trunk-like!That will be something to rub down!!..............just saying...........another solid African specimen.
from what I can see...Vickery a much better player then Sloane Stephens...Vickery moves well...and don't mind hitting the ball...she is a up and coming good player...I would like too see her play Sloane...I think Sloane would ante up her game a few notches.
Hey you, genie bashers, get a life for yourselves. She is still among the top tennis players in the world. She's had surprising success at a very early age, more than most people will ever have. Yes, she is immature sometimes but so what. Everyone is. She doesn't have to be a one-dimensional human being like a lot of people. It's good that she explores life at a young age. Tennis is just a game. But if she wants to perform better, she needs to get back to being extra-aggressive moving forward all the time, because she does not have the power to dominate.
Bouchard doesn't play that bad ...she has very fine groundstrokes mixed with power and a better body serve .. look how confident she seemed to be at the start of match .. really I can't figure out what's wrong with her ... Apparently God's not with her 😂😂
she seems to be hitting the ball well but too short compared to her 2014 season - it seems just to be a foot or two less than before and with less pace - seems like she is trying to put more topspin - also her serves before were more difficult to return compared to now - could be some coaching introduced errors that are hard to recover from - too bad she was dynomite in 2014 - scary good
There’s nothing special about her game that the other women on tour don’t have. I think in 2014 she was just more unknown but now everyone knows what type of game she plays and can easily adjust. She’s not the most powerful player, or the best defensive player, or best placement which gives nothing special to her game. Her serves tend to be fairly weak. At one point in the video Sachia is standing a few feet in front of the baseline to return a serve.
Genie is gorgeous but her game is not that gorgeous.! We all like a pretty face and to be a great player but that don't happening at the moment.! But i think she had potential she has to work hard to find her game back and stop with the modeling pics and more.! She must give what she has for the game only tennis nothing else...!
what does being American have to do with wether or not her game is exciting to watch lol. Either it is exciting because it is or it isn't, nothing to do with where she's from.
Lisa Marie people like you try SO HARD to be PC that it makes me cringe. What’s wrong with wanting an exciting young tennis player who is from a specific country, more specifically, a player who represents your own country. Are people not even allowed to have preferences towards their own counties these days? Geez...
'people like me' right, bc you know me so well, right? I'm not trying to be politically correct, I was just making a point that she her play can be exciting no matter what country she's from. Of course, if any unexciting player from my country is playing against an unexciting player from some other country, I'm probably gonna cheer for my countryman/woman, so there's nothing wrong with that AT ALL. However, I don't let nationality influence which players I find most exciting, because those I like most are not. I'd rather watch and cheer for players whose game I really enjoy than cheer for one from my country and not enjoy the game. But I don't let one depend on the other, meaning a player's game does not get more or less exciting based on their home country, and that was the point of my comment. It wasn't to be PC or attack anyone, it was just to show that I didn't agree with the argumentation: if X is from country Y, game is exciting, if not, game is boring (which is what the comment implied). I do agree with 'if X has exciting game, AND is from country Y, its more exciting to watch. Don't try to make it about 'people like me' or pitting one group against another, we all enjoy tennis, I was just trying to broaden someone's horizon. May I ask whose game you find most exciting (genuinely interested btw)?
It has happened to me where my opponent just played too well. I play good; they play great. Good players know this. Eugenie Bouchard was playing some very good tennis in this video and I am sure anyone who comments here would lose too if they evered played any sport at any level instead of commenting all day on videos.
What a waste of a WC. A nothing player these days winds up, well, doing nothing at this event. I'm pretty sure there were a few Americans that would have been more deserving. Not a player who cares more about documenting her life off court than accomplishing anything on court.
5:27 WAKANDA FOREVAAAAA
LMAO
Yaas
Yesssss 😂✊🏾💪🏾
Lmao!
ucdlin hahaha😂
well at least Genie is proving what consistency is all about..getting knocked out on the first round:)
Antonio Padilla Jr. LOOOL! Nice one!
Mrreciprocat you keep mentioning Sharapova in every single comment you repeat on here. Let me guess, you're Indian
Yassss Sasha!! I’m loving the new American girls! She has a great game!
She's a brat tho
I think it is a bummer that Bouchard is still being given WCs into main draws. Give some other up and coming players a chance to compete in main draws for a change.
Was just wondering. So at this point, does genie still have an ARMY? lol
I'm surprise Nike is still investing on special kits for her when she's not even winning, while Simona is no. 1 but she was given the same kit as everyone else. Haha
She's still got the following online. But if her ambition is to become a top ranked tennis player she's got a loooong way to go
Yep, I've never understood why Bouchard gets her own kits either, when she's done nothing on tour in over 3 years. And really players that do get their own specialized kits are usually slam champions or top ranked players. Players like Simona and Elina Svitolina have done a lot more than Genie over the past 3 years. And Petra Kvitova has won 2 GS. But they have to wear to wear the same kits as everyone else.

Mrreciprocat Sharapova has six majors while Bouchard has none. Eugenia is a one and done. Sharapova just lost her edge so she now has to work twice as hard to get past the first. She can do it, but Eugenia can’t.
It’s within the contract. It will be up soon.
Simona is a great player. that Bouchard is a joke.
There she gooooeessss.. There she goes again.. losing round 1 again.. lollllll
Mrreciprocat best day!
Bouchard has proved in this game that her struggles are not due to the slip at US Open 2015.
What a good player that's coming in the spot light! Yes
Wow! Impression power and variety. Go Sachia!!
I like Sashas game! She is exciting to watch! I will be watching and rooting for her
3:50 "That's some great ancipation"😂😂
Jermano Mayfield lmao hahaha
So funny😂😂😂😭
Nice win Sasha.💪
Sachia*
Loving the game of Sachia! Plus her team is cute!
When parents ask me, “Why is proper technique so important?” Or “Is decision making really that important?”.....I show them Bouchard matches like this.
Sachia Vickery Go Girl!
She lost on purpose because she had a photo shoot to go to. What is wrong with you people.
John V good one 😁
John V 😂😂😂😂
You spiteful girl John V.
Go Girl!
Vickery's lob too good
Great game 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Like Sachia's play. From these highlights it looks like she was getting to everything. Will be watching her in next match. But on side note, please someone work with her on undergarment selections. They have bras that work better with that kind of top. ijs. Great win.
2:50im sorry but that should’ve easily been shot of the day instead of Serena’s. Serena’s was good but a lob on the run is pretty awesome.
Go Sasha. You Got Game
Sasha has deceptive power from both sides, reminiscent of Chanda Rubin when hitting shots on the run. Or even Seles, with a flick of the wrist creating some extreme angles from unexpected positions. She keeps her arms closer to her body and does not give away much clues as to where she will hit her shots (or with what speed for that matter). Amazing technique to be able to do that without the typical requisite preparation on her backswing.

Congratulations Sachia!
Bouchard is the modern day Kournikova.
kounikova was no 1 in doubles though
The only difference is that Kournikova wins doubles & have grandslams. Her beauty is more natural than Genie's.
Maria and Eugenie are going home in 1st round)
I like Bouchard and I that hope she comes back to her former form once again.
Sachia has got game! Big serve and meaty groundstrokes.
Victory is too good for her!
Bouchard and Sharapova anyone else?
djoker chanell mug
how do you go from number 5 to 115 without being injured?
psychological
Seriously. She reminds me of Kyrgios, all talk no skill, except Kyrgios has the game. If you want to be dramatic and stuff ofcourt that’s fine, but make sure you back it up with your match, because Sharapova gets forgiven bea sue she can back it up, right now genie, you can’t sorry to say.
Nathan Lifska
What drama was she apart of?
Epirus Φ Her lawsuit stuff with the USTA. When she “tripped and bumped her head”.
Apparently that head bump ruined her career and she hasn’t been able to make a comeback, which is nonsense.
Nathan Lifska
Oh Bouchard? I thought you meant Vickery
Osaka is a great player. She just needs a good draw.
Mrreciprocat Master Levi
I wasn’t really talking about present, I was talking about in general, like with all the titles and stuff but okay.
I can't really understand what happened to Genie...she had so much potential and she now looks like she doesn't wanna be on the court anymore. She's gonna have to start playing qualifying to get big tournaments soon.
New star!
Vickery and Victory!
Well done, Sachia.
Like the fast changeover in WTA. No player for media to make into a demigod....so sickening to witness it. No one can sit on their laurels or have time to show "attitude" offcourt. Almost like new improving AI programmed players closing down the top ones. I would like to see Vickery MAINTAIN the focus and concentration, from continent to continent, surface to surface. You can do it.
Damn them legs on sachia!
Definitely time to 'give up' on Bouchard until she earns entry into these tournaments. Enough already.
She is good but can she handle a Williams?!?
nickelwindow53 Can anyone handle a williams?
Venus can lose to anyone on a bad day. Serena can give it to her 6/0 6/0
Tk Muns hell yea!!!!! 💪🏾
nickelwindow53 she doesn’t have to handle a Williams, she will join them get mentored and write her own legacy.
@Tk Muns; hahaha, your comment, wow nice answer!
! wonder why Gene did not wanted to see her coach?
Bouchard isn't putting away the short balls, hitting them big with bad placement won't cut it..She knows better and is better than that..She's too good to keep this up, its a problem that can be fixed...
Why still talk about Bouchard, while their is real talent coming up to entertain us.
Sasha girl, you a straight killa.
Good win, but not enough pop on serve or off the ground to do anything to the big players.
Tell that to Mugu
You're super wrong fellow h
Jermaine. This Vickery is a future champion. She serves miles better than Kerber and Wozniacki
Jermano Mayfield you cant base a few wins off of future success. Watch and see.
Pomerlain89 Its one match. Lol She is a good player, but wait until she faces a player who will time and time again attack her serve and push her behind the baseline, and not play these long rallies, you will see a different story.
Jermaine Benson so are you saying I'm basing my assessment off of a few mins? You're wrong again my brotha
Bouchard should change her coach, she cannot even slice, nobody can win with only flat shot
Battle of wildcard and qualifier,,in the end qualifier won
why Bouchard doesn’t want to play qualifies? There she can gain more confidence because you play only on outside courts
sachia vickery looked like shes about to cry every time she won a point lol
Well done Sasha............If that is mum at 3.25.........then I see where she got the solid frame from...........some solid tree trunk-like!That will be something to rub down!!..............just saying...........another solid African specimen.
from what I can see...Vickery a much better player then Sloane Stephens...Vickery moves well...and don't mind hitting the ball...she is a up and coming good player...I would like too see her play Sloane...I think Sloane would ante up her game a few notches.
Yay! I hate Bouchard. Love seeing her lose.
It was cool for 2 years now its just sad
ManuelPabloArnao
N uh are hot
@ManuelPabloArnao; Why hating her? Porque?
Wasted career, pretty soon she will have to play qualifier to enter the main drawn. SAD SAD tennis player.
John V she will have access to many wasted wildcards
No comment...
Get better and practice, this new gal Sachia played beautifully!
this match was a mess.
Sashas legs thou♨️♨️♨️
I really don’t want Bouchard back in the top 100
Hey you, genie bashers, get a life for yourselves. She is still among the top tennis players in the world. She's had surprising success at a very early age, more than most people will ever have. Yes, she is immature sometimes but so what. Everyone is. She doesn't have to be a one-dimensional human being like a lot of people. It's good that she explores life at a young age.

Vickery can RUN!!!
She good
No locker room for her!
Bouchard doesn't play that bad ...she has very fine groundstrokes mixed with power and a better body serve ..
look how confident she seemed to be at the start of match ..
really I can't figure out what's wrong with her ... Apparently God's not with her 😂😂

Bouchard just because your hitting the ball hard means nothing smh.
Ha Ha do Bouchard like any body, she looks mad all the time.
Genie is so pretty, still like that girl so much even if she loses all the time which hurts
She is so pretty though...
pablito l lol that's all that matters right
Honestly. Not that special
she has a networth of 150m. Pretty is not all masha has though
Mrreciprocat Sharapova was one of the highest paid athletes in the world, Eugenia has her measly million.
not a good day for blondies
I can't stand Bouchard with her big head and big mouth! I'm glad she lost.
Genie is gorgeous but her game is not that gorgeous.! We all like a pretty face and to be a great player but that don't happening at the moment.! But i think she had potential she has to work hard to find her game back and stop with the modeling pics and more.! She must give what she has for the game only tennis nothing else...!
Another one that does not understand Tennis.
Don't think her hearts in it
Is this girl American? If she is she's a bit exciting to watch... Unlike Sloane Stephens who is just so boring to watch just my opinion
Michael Martinez yes she's American.
what does being American have to do with wether or not her game is exciting to watch lol. Either it is exciting because it is or it isn't, nothing to do with where she's from.
She was born in Guyana. South America.
Lisa Marie people like you try SO HARD to be PC that it makes me cringe.

Bye chinny
let the brutalities begin! viva schadenfreude!!!!
American girls!!!!! Bitches better recognize😎
bouchard...you better not play tennis
SHHHHH lol
I’d beat Bouchard
It has happened to me where my opponent just played too well. I play good; they play great. Good players know this. Eugenie Bouchard was playing some very good tennis in this video and I am sure anyone who comments here would lose too if they evered played any sport at any level instead of commenting all day on videos.
Bouchard is gorgeous :)
Fadechard is embarrassing!
What a waste of a WC. A nothing player these days winds up, well, doing nothing at this event. I'm pretty sure there were a few Americans that would have been more deserving. Not a player who cares more about documenting her life off court than accomplishing anything on court.
tennis still needs players for the white male eye !
GO GENIE !
potamos I'm glad Vickery won for the black male eye 💯💯
