Francesca Schiavone vs. Eugenie Bouchard - 2014 Rome highlights

[@orbitalwarrior]

I love seeing this. Bouchard's weakness was exposed, she felt so uncomfortable on that court and couldn't even figure out some sort of solution. She can barely finish inside the top 50 nowadays.

Big deal. It's Rome. It's one tournament. Just a few weeks after this match, Bouchard made the semi finals of the French Open, an obviously much more important tournament than this one. She lost to a drugged up Sharapova in 3 close sets, so she could legitimately have been in the roland garros final. But you're correct in that she has trouble winning nowadays.

@@elduderino7916Her doing well in the first 3 majors of 2014 helped to mask the fact that she had no week-to-week consistency. She was hyped up based on her runs at the first three GS events. She had numerous first round exits. Yeah, the GS are important, but they only make up 4 tournaments in a season. If you don't know how to win outside of them, you're not winning a GS, and with no points, there's no cushion to hold you up if you don't defend those GS points. And that's what happened to Genie. Once she didn't defend those GS results, combined with doing nothing in WTA Premier events, she was outside the top 30 fairly quickly, and hasn't been back since.
