Eugenie Bouchard vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto : Preview

Eugenie Bouchard

Bouchard is only twenty seven , but it seems like an eternity ago that she was ranked no.5 in the world. The lockdown and her bad form have both contributed equally to Bouchard’s poor ranking which has now plummeted to over hundred. Bouchard had a decent start to life post lockdown.

She reached the Quarter Finals of the Prague Open and then the Finals of the Istanbul Open. But since then she has had to endure a tough run, and even failed to qualify for the Australian Open 2021. In this current tournament she has overcome her first round opponent Caroline Dolehide in three sets, and then beaten seeded player Kaja Juvan in straight sets. In the Quarter Finals she overcame Caty McNally of the USA, 6-4 6-3.

Her Semi Final opponent is the young Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto. Cocciaretto is only twenty and qualified into the main draw of this tournament. She beat Xiyu Wang in straight sets in the first round. In the second round she gave a fantastic account of herself by beating the first seed Nadia Podoroska, 7-5 7-5. The third round saw her overcome Lauren Davis of the USA 6-3 6-0.

Eugenie Bouchard

Bouchard has always been known for her fast serve and powerful groundstrokes and her greatest nemesis has been her consistency. And she has had to live with this double edged sword since the beginning. Bouchard has enough experience to win against this youngster even on a bad day.
