"I have not been able to re-watch that match" - Bouchard on her maiden Wimbledon final in 2014

Eugenie Bouchard made history b becoming the first Canadian player to reach a Grand Slam final when she reached the Wimbledon final in 2014, but she says she has never gone back to re-watch her historic match.

Earlier that year, the Canadian had achieved career bests by reaching the semifinals of both the Australian Open and the French Open. She carried this momentum to the grass-court season, where she went one step further by reaching the final of Wimbledon. However, she was defeated by Czech Petra Kvitova in 6-3 6-0.

In a recent podcast, Bouchard spoke about how she felt destroyed after the match and has never gone back to re-watch her historic moment.

"So, basically, no Canadian player had ever reached the finals of any Grand Slams before and so, when I did that at Wimbledon in 2014, I was the first Canadian to ever do that," said the It’s just kind of history, I made history in a sense. And I was obviously very proud to do that for myself and my country. Unfortunately, I did lose in the finals, I got my butt kicked. But you live and you learn."
