I want to apologize for my tweet yesterday. It was a lapse in judgment, and unnecessary. Though I’ve always championed fair play, I didn’t have all my facts in order and certainly didn’t mean to cause harm. I’m going to continue to work on myself going forward, both on and off…
"You just don't want to be cancelled": Tennis fans call out Bouchard for apology after Yastremska/Sharapova tweet
Tennis NewsSunday, 30 April 2023 at 04:30
Eugenie Bouchard tweeted after her victory over Dayana
Yastremska and apparently aimed at Maria Sharapova.
The Canadian has slowly returned to form in Madrid.
She advanced in the qualifying rounds with victories over Sara Sorribes Tormo
and Elizabeth Mandlik, to face Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska in the first round,
who has previously been investigated for doping cases.
After the victory, Eugenie Bouchard reacted on
Twitter, which fans interpreted as a criticism of Maria Sharapova:
"There's something about playing dopers in Madrid," Bouchard wrote.
The message was likely in reference to Bouchard's victory
over Maria Sharapova in Madrid in 2017, shortly after the controversy
surrounding the Russian's doping case. Bouchard deleted the post and made an
apology that was responded to by fans.

Huge error of judgement. Until I see you back to the straight and narrow of judgement, you don’t have my support. I’m not a fan of Yamstreska but I ceased being a fan of yours. Sportsmanship and integrity are key to me and you lacked both through the comment made.
You can never hold a candle to Maria. Your envy is understandable. Maria’s popularity, style, beauty, stamina and charisma are all unachievable for you.
