Caroline Wozniacki defeats Eugenie Bouchard in exhibition on eve of Dallas Open
WTAMonday, 05 February 2024 at 13:30
The Dallas Open will take place between 5-11 February and as ever, there was a Women's Tennis Classic prior to the tournament beginning featuring former Australian Open champion, Caroline Wozniacki and former Wimbledon finalist, Eugenie Bouchard.
Wozniacki claimed it 6-4, 6-2. The Dane hinted that she may play some tournaments in the Middle East after her early exit from the Australian Open, but has not signed up for any and had already been confirmed for this exhibition. While Bouchard is more of a part-time tennis player nowadays. The Canadian has turned her hand to pickleball instead albeit with mixed results so it is the first time she has played tennis this season.

Last year saw Madison Keys ad Sloane Stephens battle on opening weekend and this time, it was Wozniacki and Bouchard that shared the court with the former World No.1 winning handily in straight sets. Next up for Wozniacki is likely the Sunshine Double with Indian Wells and Miami set to take place in March.
So a confidence boosting win for Wozniacki who also took part in multiple pieces of social media content with Bouchard over the weekend including roasting tennis players and despite seeing off a player who is not as active anymore, she will hope to take that into California in the coming weeks.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
